Need to furnish our property, and hoping for advice from you guys.



Where is the best place to get all the things like cutlery, pots/pans, glasses and coffee mugs etc.

Want decent stuff, but reasonable price. Or would we be advised to bring over from UK?



Thanks in advance all.

We were advised that unless you are selling up in the UK to buy in TRNC. We got our furniture from Botanica, a lot of our cookware from 1001 in Girne, or from local supermarkets. Certain things we took with us, TV, DVD, CD player. We made three trips to the TRNC in the first year we had our place, you'd be amazed how much you can get in a couple of suitcases.



Good luck



Paul

even though the insurance in the South is expensive, the Euro exchange rate is poor, i still don't think you can beat Ikea as a one stop shop for most household items and there is no doubt about the quality....
