Shopping malls in Cyprus are more than retail spaces. They function as meeting points, social hubs, cinema destinations and comfortable, air-conditioned escapes during heatwaves or rainy days. Each city has its own rhythm, and each mall reflects it in a different way.
Here’s what to expect, without the noise.
