Cyprus Restaurant Prices:
RESTAURANTS: Generally speaking, restaurants
are a lot cheaper in Cyprus than they are in the UK.
Using 'Pizza Express' as an example, we found that the
Cypriot 'Pizza Express' restaurant menu is around 23%
cheaper than its British equivalent.
Unlike some other Mediterranean destinations, Cyprus
boasts a wide range of different international cuisine,
all at very favourable prices.
FOOD & DRINK: On the subject of
alcohol, Cyprus offers local and imported beers from
about C£1.00 per pint, a wide range of wines from
around C£2.00 per bottle and even a good quality
bottle of local brandy from as little as C£3.00.
In a typical supermarket, you can expect to pay around
61 cents per pint (bottle) for Cyprus beer Keo/Carlsberg
and around C£1.98 to C£5.00 for Cypriot
wine.
But of course, as with any other destination in the
world, if you visit Cyprus' typically touristy places,
you will pay substantially more.
With regards to food, Cyprus offers an excellent variety
of fresh and inexpensive fruit, vegetables, meat and
fish.

CLOTHING: Clothing in Cyprus can be
bought at very reasonable prices, because Cyprus is

One exception on the electrical appliance front are
tumble dryers, which are comparatively expensive in
Cyprus at around C£170. But then, with an average

appliance around.
