Where Locals Shop in Cyprus and Why You Should Too

The ultimate insider tip for travellers

If you're visiting Cyprus and want to shop like a local, smart, easy, and budget-friendly, make sure to add METRO Supermarkets to your itinerary.

Whether you’ve just landed and need travel essentials, or you're halfway through your trip and craving a taste of authentic Cyprus, Metro Supermarkets have it all.

With stores in convenient locations close to popular tourist spots like Protaras, Larnaca, Limassol and Nicosia, Metro is the kind of place that makes it easy for visitors to stock up without wasting time, while experiencing a touch of true Cypriot hospitality.

Why should a tourist go?
First off, prices. Unlike overpriced mini-markets or hotel shops, Metro offers genuinely affordable choices, from bottled water and fresh fruit to beach gear, toiletries, and local wines.

Second, the local flavour. This isn’t just a supermarket, it’s a gateway to Cypriot culture. Find premium halloumi cheese, anari cheese, local olives, sausages, handmade sweets, and award-winning Cypriot wines perfect to take home as edible souvenirs (or just to enjoy on your hotel balcony).

Third, it’s a one-stop shop. Forgot sunscreen? Need a quick lunch or ready-made meal? Looking for toiletries, over-the-counter medicine, or kid-friendly snacks for a day trip? Metro has you covered all in one clean, organised, and friendly environment.

With a strong reputation since 1982 and generations of loyal Cypriot customers, Metro Supermarkets are where locals shop, and where tourists should too. Reliable, well-stocked, and traveller-friendly, Metro is your go-to supermarket in Cyprus.
