Where to buy bread cakes chocolates ice cream Southern Nicosia

This ice cream parlour (Ηρακλής/Iraklis) is an institution that has been delighting Nicosians since 1939. It's here, on Ledra Street, that the best ice creams in the whole city are served. There's a choice of flavors in the form of sorbets, frozen yoghurts, scoops, cones, compositions... There are even fat-free and sugar-free ice creams. The light fare (pizzas, burgers and salads) is not worth the detour. But the place remains a good address, especially for families, thanks to its small park with attractions (for a fee) for children.

The "three lanterns" pastry shop (Τρία Φανάρια) has hardly changed since its creation in 1952. Here, the Savvas family offers great little savory snacks(tiropita, spanakopita, omelet) and sweets(galaktoboureko, baklava, kataifi, croissant or a refreshing rosewater mahalepi ). With its central, shaded terrace on the charming Faneromeni square, Tria Fanaria is a good starting point for a morning coffee or orange juice, before exploring the meandering alleys of the old town.
