Pop-up markets not to miss this week

Amid summer activities of lounging on the beach and festival hopping are three pop-up events that feature local artists, second-hand books and clothes. Three crafty bazaars are taking place in the last week of June, two in Nicosia and one in Larnaca.

Drink Shop and Dance

The Drink Shop and Dance pop-up in Larnaca will feature seven local creatives and plenty of positive vibes. Held in the garden of the old town bar Kleidi, the market will begin at 6.30pm welcoming visitors to the sounds of DJ Andrea on the decks. There, market-goers will be able to shop handmade items, jewellery, postcards, prints, towels and plenty of other items locally-made. The event will continue throughout the evening with cocktails, music and disco ball lights, wrapping up at 11.30pm.

Over the course of the three days, a second-hand book bazaar will be held in old Nicosia, from 6pm to 10pm, aiming to give books a second home. Hundreds of book titles will be available to purchase at low prices.
