Depends what you want - If you want to go for good quality that will last well, Electrikur (on the Lefkosa roundabout in Girne) have nice italian chairs, tables and sunbeds - about the same price as the UK - but it is good quality stuff - and it looks great !!

Depends if you want quality stuff or not. The black gun metal / wicker furniture they sell (from Italy) is the same price as John Lewis etc back here in the UK. Plastic moulded furniture is available in most places at a fifth of the cost....

realy the price of stuff depends on the exchange rate you get on the day,we bought ours from botanica at a 2.7ytl so it was cheaper than at say 2.2.

There is a little electrical shop just next to Sevener restaurant that also sells garden furniture, the choice is quite good and the prices very reasonable, we have used it several times and have always been pleased with our purchases.

If you want really good furniture use Hamak next to Pegasus good solid teak well made and a reasonable price.

Dont forget plastic dgrades here in the sun, penny wise pound foolish says the Hippo

Botanica(Çatalköy) do a good range, I recommended them to a friend and she got a solid wood 6 seat set with parasol for less than 750 lira (about £325). They also do real and PVC rattan, worth a look?
