Flea Markets in Nicosia, CYPRUS

For the lovers of the Mediterranean the island of Cyprus is an absolute must. The legendary birthplace of Aphrodite is famed for its spectacular beaches, its breathtaking sceneries and the warmth of its people.

Ayia Thekla flea market (Paralimni District)

Beach club by the church in Ayia Thekla,  Wednesdays and Fridays, 8am -1pm

Held Wednesday mornings at the beach club by the church in Ayia Thekla (located outside Ayia Napa, past the waterpark), the Ayia Thekla flea market has recently become so popular that organisers are now opening twice-weekly. This market has a bit of everything but can sometimes be part car boot sale.

Expect clothing, books, dvd’s, general bric-a-brac, jewellery and all sorts of other goods. Since the market is located just by the beach, visitors can sit at one of the sea front bars and restaurants to taste fresh smoked fish and delicious home baking. Visitors will find a very friendly bunch of local and expat traders, who have built up a large weekly following of residents and even tourists who venture down for a wander round the stalls or a cool beer by the sea.

Ayia Thekla Weekly Market: Wednesdays and Fridays, 8am -1pm
Charity Boot Sale: Tuesday morning, 10am-12pm. Woody’s Inn, Protaras. Tel: 23 831690

St Paul’s Thrift Shop (Nicosia’s Anglican church)

A different range of goods can be found at St Paul’s Thrift Shop, a Saturday tradition held in the grounds of Nicosia’s Anglican church. Relatively new to the ‘market’ market with just two years of operation, the donations of used books, second-hand clothes and household items make this place a necessity for those on a budget as there are bargains galore to be had. Run for charity and staffed by volunteers, under the cool shade of the trees, the thrift shop, bric a brac stall and bookshop create a world far away from the cosmopolitan streets of Nicosia.

A quick rummage through the St Paul’s Thrift Shop, and it’s a wonder how fashion-obsessed Nicosians are yet to source out this unique thrift shop that will, in some cases, produce rare commodities such as fur coats and vintage pieces.
