When the world went into lockdown, food delivery suddenly transformed from a luxury to a lifeline. And like clockwork, everyone began googling “supermarkets that deliver in Cyprus” — only to discover three-line blurbs about two stores and a shrug from the internet. That simply wouldn’t do.

So we rolled up our sleeves and created the most thorough, painfully detailed, and occasionally sarcastic list of food delivery options on the island. Whether you live in a bustling city or a sleepy village, this guide will walk you through what’s actually available, how it works, and why things are still done in gloriously old-school fashion on our Mediterranean rock.

Cyprus isn’t exactly known for embracing digital innovation with open arms. The island’s unofficial motto could be “If it ain't broke, don't replace it with an app.” Just a few years ago, the self-order terminals in McDonald’s were collecting dust while people stood in a line twenty-deep for a cheeseburger. And don’t get me started on supermarket checkouts — the self-service lanes are often treated like suspicious modern witchcraft.

But times change. And COVID, like an impatient relative, gave Cyprus a firm shove into the 21st century. Even the most traditional corner shops began experimenting with delivery models, scrambling to keep up with customers who suddenly didn’t want to leave the house unless absolutely necessary.

At the moment, there are three types of food delivery services on the island:

• Dedicated online supermarkets — sleek, straightforward, and blessedly convenient.
• Aggregator platforms — theoretically promising, in reality a bit... barren.
• Offline supermarkets with delivery add-ons — rich in products, poor in logistics.

The first are the most convenient and simple to use. Second ones offer wide range of opportunities and theoretically are the most perspective. But nowadays all the aggregators that are working in Cyprus are quite poor and have only few shops connected to their websites. The third category can boast a huge variety of goods but the service itself is often difficult and challenging. That’s why we can’t tell you what to choose. All we can do for you is to provide the information about all possible options so that you can make a decision by yourself.

Online Supermarkets in Cyprus

Supermarketcy : The Leading Online Grocery Store with Island-Wide Delivery

www.supermarketcy.com is one of the most reliable and well-established online supermarkets in Cyprus, operating since 2011. It’s usually the first result you’ll see when searching for food delivery on the island — and for good reason. With mostly positive customer reviews and a wide delivery network, it remains the go-to option for many residents.

• Minimum order: €40
• Payment options: Cash on delivery or online payment by credit card
• Delivery coverage: All major cities. Delivery to villages depends on location — just enter your postal code on the site to check availability.

While availability is broad, regularity isn’t always guaranteed. In Nicosia and Limassol, deliveries are available on any weekday between 11:00 and 19:00. In other towns, expect a once-a-week schedule.

Prices tend to be about 30% higher than in-store shopping, but don’t dismiss the service too quickly. Delivery is free, and many items are offered at standard retail prices — especially if you pay attention to the discount section, where promotions are clearly listed and easy to find.

The website is available in both Greek and English and features a clean, user-friendly interface. Product listings come with photos and clear pricing, and there’s a “favorites” feature that allows you to save items for later by clicking a heart icon.

You can browse products by brand or category. If you run into any issues or have questions, a support team is available to assist.

Here’s a quick breakdown of the main product categories:

• Bakery. There are bread, different buns with filling, fresh croissants etc.
• Fruits and veggies. The selection isn’t vast, but it covers most everyday needs.
• Meat & Poultry
• Products for everyday usage. This section includes eggs, dairy, sausages etc.
• Frozen foods. Meat, fish, veggies, semi-finished products.
• Beverages.
• Hygiene products.
• Goods for children. Baby food, skin care, baby powder, diapers. The variety is not much to work with.
• Household goods. Toilet paper, cleaning supplies, food for animals etc.

In summary, Supermarketcy offers a decent range of products, straightforward ordering, and reasonable pricing. If you’re new to grocery delivery in Cyprus and feeling a bit skeptical, this is a solid place to start.

The only real drawback? There’s just one fulfillment center handling all orders, so during peak times (like lockdowns or public holidays), delivery delays can stretch into several weeks.

 

Cheapbasket

Delivers across Cyprus — except for Paphos and the Troodos mountains.

Cheapbasket is a veteran of the local delivery game. The company was founded way back in 1968 — in the golden age of baskets on bikes. Thankfully, the business has evolved since then: now they operate a small fleet of their own trucks, and not a single pedal in sight.

• Minimum order: €40
• Delivery fee: Free
• Delivery time: Same-day delivery, according to the site (excluding weekends and holidays). That said, during high-demand periods like holidays, you might be waiting up to two weeks. So keep that in mind.

The website… well, it exists. Only available in English, it's rather barebones and not especially friendly for tired eyes. Fonts are small, sections load slowly, and sometimes the wrong page starts loading just as you’re clicking on another — a charming throwback to 2008.

All items come with photos, descriptions, and prices, but don’t expect anything fancy — there’s no wishlist or favorite button.

They claim to offer over 2,000 products. Sounds like a lot? Just for reference: a standard European supermarket has around 50,000 SKUs, and even a small one down the street has about 5,000. So 2,000 puts Cheapbasket at about half the size of your average mini-market.

Still, there’s everything you need — just without five brands of the same thing to choose from.

Prices are comparable to offline stores, and the free delivery is a nice bonus.

In short: Cheapbasket is a small, no-frills online store with a basic layout and decent prices. We’ll call it: modestly practical.

 

Kalinka

Specializes in deliveries within Larnaca.

Kalinka is an online grocery store focused on Russian products — though it also carries goods from Bulgaria, Romania, Poland, and a bit of everything local. Even if you’re not part of the post-Soviet diaspora, you might find something useful here. Just be warned: the entire website is in Russian.

Visit www.kalinka-shop.com and you’ll be greeted with a design that feels more like a college assignment than a modern e-commerce platform. Odd font choices, a cluttered main page with recipes, and some truly questionable color combinations. That said, it’s not hard to navigate. And frankly, ease of use matters more than pretty gradients.

Product photos are available, though clearly taken by enthusiastic amateurs rather than professionals. Some are unclear, others unappetizing, but most of them get the job done.

The product range is impressive, with five main sections:

• Groceries
• Beverages
• Fresh produce
• Bakery & pastry
• Household goods

There are 35 subcategories in total, including local farm products, celebration menus, custom cakes, and even a “pharmacy” section — though don’t expect much more than soda, cough drops, and Turkish delight. You’re unlikely to treat anything more serious than the sniffles.

Prices? Reasonable. Some items — like cottage cheese — are surprisingly affordable. Others, like chicken or buckwheat, are slightly pricier. On the whole, the price level is fair.

What’s strange is that there’s no dedicated “Delivery” section — you’ll find the info buried in the “About Us” tab.

Delivery Details:

Larnaca: Delivery within 1 working day.

€20 fee, free if your order exceeds €100.

Agia Napa, Protaras, Limassol: Delivery in 2 working days.

€50 fee, free if you order over €300.

Paphos: Delivery in 2 working days.

€70 fee, free for orders over €500.

Realistically, unless you’re shopping for a large family or doing a group order, deliveries outside Larnaca aren’t very cost-effective. At that point, sending a friend to the nearest ethnic store might be faster and cheaper.

• Payment: Cash to courier or PayPal (credit card online).

Summary: Kalinka is a charmingly clunky site that nonetheless offers a solid product range, especially for Larnaca residents. Built with heart rather than polish, it serves its niche well — just don’t expect slick design or lightning-fast delivery if you live outside the city.

 

Fresco online supermarket

Available in: Limassol.

Fresco is another small-scale online grocery store that serves only Limassol. It’s not part of a larger chain, but functions more like your local minimarket with a virtual front door. The total product count hovers around 5,000 — enough to cover the basics, but don’t expect endless choice across brands or categories.

• Minimum order: €25
• Delivery fee: €2.50 (free if your order is €40 or more)
• Languages: Website available in English and Russian

The prices are mostly in line with what you’d see in physical supermarkets, though some products come with a 20–30% markup. Whether it’s justified depends on your tolerance for convenience.

As for the website — it’s clean, intuitive, and mostly painless to navigate. All products come with photos and brief descriptions. The photos, however, won’t win any awards — no lighting tricks, no appetizing filters. You can usually tell what you’re looking at, but let’s just say you won’t be drooling.

There’s a wishlist feature, which is handy, but oddly implemented. You can’t add items to it directly from the main catalog — you need to open each item’s page individually to hit that little heart button. Not a dealbreaker, just mildly inefficient.

Fresco uses its own courier service, which helps keep things timely and local. Overall, it’s a basic but solid option for everyday essentials — especially if you value no-fuss navigation and clear-cut service.

 

Zoomdelivery

Available in: Limassol.

ZoomDelivery is a niche European-style online store with a very specific focus: beverages, both alcoholic and non-alcoholic. It’s new, it’s sleek, and it’s exclusively for Limassol — at least for now.

Minimum order: €15

Delivery: Free

Delivery slots: Choose your day and one-hour delivery window

Payment: Cash or card — but only at the door

No account needed: You can order without registration, just verify your phone number

You can shop for everything from juice and soda to whiskey, beer, wine, vodka, and liqueurs. Lighter drinks like water and beer are sold in multipacks (starting from 4 cans), while pricier spirits are sold by the bottle. There’s something for everyone — from €6 table wine to €500 collector's whiskey (I counted 74 whiskey options alone — that’s commitment).

Prices range from standard to slightly elevated (+20–30%), depending on the product. That said, ZoomDelivery is a lifesaver if you’re after variety or trying to avoid lugging crates of sparkling water up four flights of stairs.

The website and app are both functional… with an asterisk. Some buttons only respond after the second or third click. The checkout process might feel like a minor escape room — enter your address, find yourself on the home page, press “pay” again, go somewhere else entirely. It’s not unusable, but it does test your patience a bit.

There’s a live chat support feature, and it actually works — you’ll get real answers, not vague auto-responses.

Oh, and the site is technically restricted to users 18+, thanks to the alcohol content. It asks for your birth date when you enter, but let’s be honest — nobody’s checking.

Bottom line: ZoomDelivery is particularly convenient for two scenarios:

1. You need to order a bulk pack of drinks (say, six bottles of water or soda), but don’t want to carry them home.

2. You’re in your pajamas on a Saturday afternoon, thinking: “A good bottle of wine would really improve this moment.” And then it just… arrives.

Glitches aside, it’s one of the most useful beverage delivery options in Cyprus right now.

Wine and more

Covers: All Cyprus

Another online alcohol shop in Cyprus — this time, strictly adult territory. Wine and More offers a decent interface, modern layout, and an unfortunate love for microscopic fonts. If you’re trying to read descriptions without squinting, better keep your reading glasses nearby. But beyond the typography woes, the site works just fine.

Navigation is intuitive, the catalog is easy to browse, and each product comes with a clear photo, price tag, and a surprisingly verbose description — sometimes even a whole paragraph or two, as if you were buying a bottle of wine and getting its autobiography.

That said, don’t expect abundance here. The total assortment counts fewer than 500 items. Beer lovers get 39 choices, whiskey fans just 15 — not exactly a celebration of diversity, especially when compared to ZoomDelivery’s 74 whiskies.

Prices: Roughly 20% higher than offline stores

Delivery fee: €2–6 depending on region (e.g. Limassol: €2)

Free delivery: Orders above €70

Payment options: Cash to courier or PayPal

In short, Wine and More isn’t a bad place to grab a bottle or two, but if you’re looking for variety, you’ll probably feel underwhelmed. Decent selection, decent site, but easily overshadowed by more ambitious competitors.

 

Miradar

Delivers to: Most of Cyprus.

Here’s a local gem for anyone craving Eastern European comfort food — Miradar specializes in Slavic-style dairy, with a splash of health-conscious marketing and a price tag to match.

This Cyprus-based company proudly produces its own goods, from classic cottage cheese and ryazhenka to vareniki, syrniki, bliny, and yes — their own ice cream, which probably saved a few souls during lockdown. Their messaging leans heavily on eco-friendliness and nutritional quality, which explains why health-focused customers (especially parents of toddlers) remain fiercely loyal despite noticeably higher prices compared to, say, mass-market Polish dairy from AlphaMega.

• Languages: Russian and English
• Minimum order: None
• Delivery cost: Limassol: €3, Surrounding areas: €4, Other parts of Cyprus: €5
• Free delivery: Orders over €30 (island-wide)

The website www.miradar.com.cy is well made — a clean, professional layout with big fonts, good-sized photos, and no mysterious user interface quirks. Everything works as it should: choose a product, add it to cart, enter your contact details, proceed to checkout — simple as that.

There’s also the option to order by phone at +357 25711188, which is a nice touch for the less tech-inclined.

Just keep in mind: to get free delivery, you’ll need to spend over €30 on dairy. That’s a tall order unless you’re hosting a Slavic-themed brunch or just very enthusiastic about sour cream. With the short shelf life of most items, impulse buying here isn’t for everyone. But if you value quality over quantity — and have a thing for matsoni and syrniki — Miradar is probably your dairy dreamland.

 

Nature's bio product

Covers: All of Cyprus.

If you’ve ever dreamed of an organic utopia packed with supplements, detox teas, obscure oils, and cosmetics that promise to turn back time — Nature’s Bio Product might be your kind of place. Though it brands itself as a massive online organic supermarket, the food section is actually modest: just under 500 items. Still, it offers a surprisingly solid selection of baby food, which parents may find useful.

As you’d expect, prices are higher than in your neighborhood grocery store. Organic ideals come at a premium — because living clean isn’t cheap. That said, if you're already buying spirulina and natural toothpaste, you probably made peace with that long ago.

• Website: Available in Greek and English
• Navigation: Smooth and well-structured
• Font size: Unnecessarily tiny (yet again)
• Product pages: Feature multiple photos (including useful ingredient/calorie labels), detailed descriptions, and a “feedback” section — though most of it is, let’s say, awaiting contributions
• Search options: By brand or category; wishlist feature included

The site deserves credit for its clear structure and professional layout. If not for the squint-worthy font size, it would be a straight A. So let’s settle for A minus.

As for logistics:

Free delivery: Orders over €100 and under 5 kg

Standard delivery: €5, if under €100 or over 5 kg

For every additional 5 kg, the fee increases, but all charges are clearly calculated before checkout

Payment methods: Cash on delivery or bank transfer (no card or PayPal)

All in all, it’s a niche store for those who take their organic lifestyle seriously — or at least want their shopping cart to look like they do. Between the clean product range, good structure, and reliable delivery, it’s a solid option for health-conscious customers. Just don’t forget your reading glasses.

Aggregator websites

Foody

Delivery area: Most of Cyprus

Foody isn’t a shop in itself — it’s an aggregator platform that connects you to other stores and services. Technically, Foody is geared toward prepared food delivery, which currently reigns supreme on the island. Still, if you dig around a bit, you’ll find some basic groceries, frozen foods, and even the occasional raw produce thrown in for good measure.

If you're living in Nicosia, congratulations — you’ve won the aggregator lottery. Here, you can order from:

• Foodsaver (frozen foods),
• Blue Island (fish market),
• and, more recently, even Alphamega, the most popular supermarket chain in Cyprus.

For Limassol, the options are noticeably slimmer. PNS Food Supplies handles everyday items and frozen goods (with a surprisingly solid selection). Add to that a wine shop and a sweets store, and that’s pretty much it. Alphamega has started delivering here as well, but coverage is patchy at best.

In Larnaka, the pickings are even slimmer — there’s just one fruits-and-veggies shop. That’s it. You’d be better off walking to the kiosk.

And in Pafos? The situation is, shall we say, bleak. The only listed vendor resembles a glorified mini-mart: think chips, beer, and cigarettes. Not exactly the makings of a hearty dinner.

The Foody website interface doesn’t win any usability awards. Compared to supermarketcy.com, it's less intuitive, especially if you're not a frequent internet user. To make things trickier, supermarket items appear without any images — which is arguably the site’s biggest drawback. Want to know what you’re getting? You’ll have to trust your instincts or Google it separately.

That said, the delivery terms are clear and straightforward. Each store sets its own delivery schedule, fees, and minimum order — for example, PNS Food Supplies has a very manageable threshold of €25.

• Delivery available in: Nicosia, Limassol, Larnaka, Pafos
• Website languages: Greek and English
• Payment: Requires registration. Choose between card, cash, or contactless (there’s even a “leave at the door” option, although not all couriers seem to understand it — expect awkward eye contact anyway)
• SMS alerts: in Greek only

At first glance, Foody’s navigation might feel like an obstacle course. But give it some time — once you’re familiar, it works reasonably well. No, it’s not as simple and neat as Supermarketcy, and yes, it lacks product images and variety, but despite its flaws, Foody remains one of the most-used aggregator platforms in Cyprus. And when it comes to restaurant delivery, it’s the clear leader — loyal users see no need to shop elsewhere.

Some no name private delivery service

Covers: Most of Cyprus

This one isn’t exactly an aggregator — and calling it a “service” might be a bit generous. These guys don’t have a website, branding, or even a name. They’re simply couriers who started operating during the lockdown, riding the wave of quarantine-era self-isolation needs. But if we skip the formalities, they function in a similar way to aggregators — just stripped down to the basics.

How it works:

You call +357 96 789074, tell them which shops to visit and what to buy, and they’ll deliver your groceries. That’s it. You can speak English, Russian, or Greek, which is a pleasant surprise. The delivery fee is a flat €15, regardless of weight or quantity.

That said, €15 is a steep price tag for what is essentially a personal errand service. And while it might raise an eyebrow, there’s some logic behind it. The delivery radius is quite generous:

• Limassol ±100 km (which covers Nicosia, Larnaka, and most of Troodos)
• Pafos ±80 km

So who is this for? Definitely not for those living next to a supermarket. But if you're tucked away in a remote mountain village with no big stores around and limited access to transportation — this can be a real lifesaver. Even better if you can join forces with neighbors and split the fee. Suddenly, that €15 becomes a pretty fair deal for a supply run that saves a lot of effort.

In short: unbranded, uncomplicated, and surprisingly useful — especially when the nearest grocery aisle is a few winding mountain roads away.

Offline stores that offer delivery services

Where to order food from big-name stores — if you’re patient and persistent.

Papantoniou

Covers: Nicosia, Limassol, and Pafos

Papantoniou is one of the largest supermarket chains in Cyprus, but for reasons known only to them and perhaps a few ancient oracles, they still don’t have a proper online store. What they do have is a delivery service — and a rather clunky website where you can (with effort) try to initiate an order.

There’s no product catalog. Instead, you get a digital version of their weekly promo leaflet, where you’ll find about 12 discounted items per category. That’s it. No search function, no full inventory. If you want to order something specific, you’d better remember what it was from your last in-person visit.

To order:

You’ll need to call them directly:

• Nicosia: +357 22552995
• Limassol: +357 25369999
• Pafos: +357 26936600

Or email: [email protected]

Delivery terms:

• Free delivery, which is nice
• Minimum order: €100
• Only available within a 10 km radius of one of their supermarkets
• Expect your groceries in 1–2 business days

The website design itself looks fairly professional, but don’t expect much beyond aesthetics — pop-ups are intrusive, and functionality is limited. It’s more of a digital brochure than a real shopping tool. Still, it’s available in English, Russian, and Greek.

To sum up: Papantoniou does deliver, and they do carry just about everything you’d need. The catch is that the process is… less than elegant. Great store, frustrating experience. If you don’t mind hunting down item names and making a few phone calls, it might still be worth your time.

 

Alphamega

Delivery across all major cities in Cyprus

Alphamega is one of the largest supermarket chains on the island — and, finally, they’ve built a real website. No more guessing games with PDFs or writing grocery lists from memory. You can now browse, filter, search, and order with something resembling actual ease.

Here’s how it works:

1. Go to www.alphamega.com.cy
2. Enter your postal code to check if delivery is available in your area
3. Register (yes, that’s required — welcome to the club)
4. Start shopping using a proper interface, with categories, subcategories, images, and filters

The website is available in English and Greek, with an interface that’s actually pleasant to use. Every item comes with a picture, description, and price. You can filter by brand, category, or just scroll until something makes you hungry.

Delivery terms:

• Next-day delivery is the standard promise
• No minimum order
• Delivery costs between €7–9, depending on your location and preferred time
• They deliver to Nicosia, Limassol, Larnaca, Paphos, and nearby areas

Payment options: credit/debit card online or cash on delivery

Pros:

• Finally, a functional online supermarket experience
• Big selection of groceries, cleaning products, baby items, pet food, and more
• Dedicated “Offers” section for discounts

Cons:

• A few occasional glitches: e.g., items going out of stock mid-checkout
• Sometimes the delivery time slots are already full, especially during peak hours

All in all, Alphamega has joined the ranks of actual modern online supermarkets. If your last memory of them involves manually typing up a grocery list and emailing it, you’ll be pleasantly surprised. Just don’t forget to register — the website won’t let you do much without it.

 

Spar

For Nicosia, Larnaka and Limassol.

Spar is not so widely known in Cyprus comparing to the supermarkets I’ve mentioned above. However it’s a big chain store by itself with more than 13 thousand shops all over the world.

Spar in Cyprus also doesn’t have full-fledged online shop but it went a bit further than other supermarkets. But not too far. There is delivery page on the website with its terms on Greek and English. You can call, send e-mail or contact via Facebook group.

For Nicosia:
Phone number: +357 96700341, +357 96910353, Email: [email protected]

For Larnaka:
Phone number: +357 24259040, Email: [email protected]

For Limassol:
Phone number: +357 96700323, +357 25591133, Email: [email protected]

Facebook page address: www.facebook.com/SPAR.Cyprus.

The delivery will cost you from 3 to 5 Euros (depending on your location). If your order is more than 20 Euros, you will get the delivery for free. Spar has its own delivery service.

What about the catalogue of the goods, the situation is the same as with two previous shops — there’s only advertising magazine with the list of discount items.

 

Edem Garden

For Pafos.

Edem garden is a small chain of stores that includes three supermarkets in Pafos. There are a lot of pictures of sections and counters on the website. If you take time and watch the pictures more closely, you probably will identify a lot of goods. However the idea is dubious and far from great.

The main flaw of the website — there is only one version of it and it is on Greek. But don’t worry, you have very little to do there and it’s not practically helpful in matters of delivery. If you’re far from fluent Greek speaking you can visit its page on Facebook and read the info in English. By the way you will find the advertising magazine with actual offers and discounts there, which could be helpful for researching the variety of goods.

Edem garden offers free delivery services. The minimum order amount is just 20 Euros. As you might already notice it is one of the best deals nowadays. You can order on Facebook or by calling the following phone numbers: +357 26600980, +357 26270905, +357 26600813.

The order is created as usual: you just make a list of all goods you need and provide it to the shop.

You can see that Edem garden is a customer oriented company and tries to make its services advantageous and convenient. It’s a good shop for the people in Pafos.

 

Philippos Supermarkets

The main flaw of this shop is the areas it covers. Peyia and Coral bay are quite small districts near Pafos. So it can please a very limited amount of locals and tourists with the delivery services.

The rest are only benefits. First of all Philippos went further than other stores and created a photo gallery of its goods with prices. That’s super cool and convenient. And very logical too. It’s a bit weird that big supermarkets don’t have this feature when such a small store like Philippos that includes only two shops turned out to be at the top of the game.

But there are a few nuances. Some sections like for example “delicacies” are not complete and limited by the list of the titles. The main part of goods has pictures though.

This store is kind of transition from offline to online store. Despite the website offers you more or less detailed catalogue of goods, there is no option for ordering them online. You need to call the phone to make an order:

Coral bay: +357 26343115

Peyia: +357 26621622

or contact the shop via Facebook.

Because the delivery area is small, this service is free of charge.

The second nice bonus: the website has three versions: on English, on Greek and on Russian. The Russian version has tons of spelling mistakes but they don’t disturb much the understanding.

www.philippossm.com is designed nice and convenient. There are not many sections, which helps to navigate easily. You will also find an advertising magazine with relevant discounts here.

 

Sclavenitis

For Limassol, Nicosia and Pafos.

Sclavenitis is a chain store that includes about two dozens of medium and huge supermarkets that replaced former Carefour. Despite the name change, the assortment of goods stayed the same. So the range of products is really wide.

The website of the company is quite weak. There is an official website but it has only three sections: offers, shops and contacts. You will find the advertising catalogue in “Offers” section. Except it there is nothing to catch on the website.

The Facebook page is also a little use — it’s empty, no single post.

It’s quite difficult to figure out that the company offers delivery services. However it is available. To order the goods you have to call one of the following numbers:

• The Mall of Engomi +357 22 355545,
• Mall of Cyprus +357 22 570970,
• Latsia +357 22 486570,
• Pafos Kings Avenue Mall +357 26 205555.

 

MAS Supermarkets

For most cities of Cyprus.

There are 43 small supermarkets all over the island. Like with the previous one, there are no signs of delivery services on the website. But it is there. However it’s not a single office service. To make an order you have to visit the website and choose the shop nearest to your home. And than — call the phone number or send a letter on the e-mail written on the website. Please note, not all the shops offer delivery services. Some of them will accept the list of the goods you need to buy, gather all products and give it to you at the shop entrance. What means you will need to go out.

The website is convenient and simple. There are two versions: on Greek and on English. It also has catalogue with discounts.

 

Foodsaver Stores

For most parts of the country.

Foodsaver stores is a chain store that includes nine small shops that sell mostly frozen food and other products that require storing in the fridge. The website is available both on English and on Greek. There isn’t a discount catalogue. Its “Products” section has pictures of the goods but it’s quite problematic to use it for an order. Some pictures are detailed ones, some are just wide shots. The prices are not shown on the website. It’s useless in the long run even as a supplementary source.

The company doesn’t have its own delivery service but it is actively cooperating with the previously mentioned Foody. See above the delivery terms.

 

Etherio Bio Stores

For Limassol and Nicosia district.

Etherio Bio Stores is a chain store that includes eleven shops specializing on healthy food and organic cosmetics. A large number of the stores is located in Nicosia and neighbourhood areas. One shop is situated in Limassol.

You can buy such products as vegan cheese, diet cookies (even though the “diet” cookies are a myth), different kind of dried fruits, chocolate, energy bars, organic flour, homemade macaroni, farm bread, fresh vegetables that were grown without using any chemicals etc. here. The website has also a catalogue with discount offers. It is beautifully designed however there are only few products listed.

In fact the company has its own online shop www.bioshop.com.cy. You probably are curious why I put Etherio Bio Stores together with offline supermarkets instead online store section. The answer is: because unfortunately it’s impossible to use Etherio Bio Stores online shop for ordering any goods. Well, it didn’t work by me.

The main problem is that the “add to basket” button isn’t working. No matter how many times I tried to choose one or another item — the result was the same.

The list of the goods also doesn’t work properly. The photos aren’t loading but the size of the empty window indicates that they should be there. It is also strange that the website of online store (!) doesn’t have any log in form.

I assume that the development of www.bioshop.com.cy is still in process that’s why not all functions are working yet. On the other hand it might be created using “whatever” method.

But if you have enough time to “suffer” while opening each product page separately to see the picture, the website could be used as a shopping catalogue. Particularly since it is possible to order the delivery using old-school technologies — by calling the phone. Open this page to find the offline supermarket nearby (there are maps that make this process simpler), call the number that is shown together with the address and make your order according to the online catalogue.

Just one more feature: there’s quite interesting offer on the website — the basket with fruits and vegetables. Lettuce, tomatoes, apples, oranges, parsley and carrots are inside. Two kilos of everything (except lettuce and parsley). The price of the basket is 15 Euros. Well, you can’t order it online, but why not to order it using the phone.

To make an order, open this page, choose the closest shop and call the given phone number.

There isn’t minimum order amount. You will get the delivery for free if your order is more than 50 Euros. If your order is under 50 Euros, the delivery will cost you 4 Euros.

Many people have no opportunity to move around because of the lockdown. They start stress eat that can cause overweight problems. This store offers mostly healthy foods delivered straight to your door. “Mostly” because of course not all the goods are hundred percent healthy. Health benefits of some of them are just a piece of marketing. However many products are definitely healthier than those in ordinary supermarkets.

The benefit of this offer is that all the goods are fresh out of farms.

 

Kritikos Cash & Carry Supermarkets

For Oroklini and Larnaka.

It’s a small supermarket chain that includes two not big stores. The assortment is standard. Like in any other supermarket of such size in Cyprus. There is no website. Facebook page is also not active and serves rather as a business card.

To order the delivery, call the following number: +357 24 644440.

The delivery service is free of charge. Speaking about the minimum order amount, the staff of the shop was unable to say for sure limiting itself to the reply that “there isn’t any minimal order but the order should not be too small”. What does “too small” mean is anyone’s guess.

 

Super Discount Store

For Larnaka and Nicosia. Limassol will be included to the list very soon. But at the time of this writing it was unavailable to order the delivery to this city.

It is a large network of small supermarkets that sell products with discounts. The large number of the shops is located in Larnaka and Nicosia. One shop was opened in Limassol. Basically all the goods (not only those with discounts) are sold at reasonable prices.

The assortment is quite standard. The main focus is on the products like different snacks, biscuits, coffee etc. — everything that don’t get spoiled with the time. However there are also grocery department and goods for everyday use.

The company doesn’t have a website but its Facebook page is quite “alive”.

The delivery within Larnaka and Nicosia will cost you 5 Euros. The minimum order amount is 50 Euros.

You can make an order in the following ways:

• by calling the phone numbers: +357 99222438, +357 99229523,
• by sending an e-mail: [email protected],
• by leaving a message on Facebook.

 

Olympus

For Larnaka.

There is no website. Actually the website and even an online shop once existed but it’s all in the past. It is also quite difficult to find its Facebook page. The shop specializes on products from Russia. The variety of alcoholic drinks, traditional Russian dairy, fish from the northern seas, dumplings etc. is good.

To order the delivery, call the phone number: +357 99132240.

Minimum order amount is 25 Euros. But as far as I understood, it is negotiable.

Delivery cost is 5 Euros within Larnaka. 7 Euros to the remote areas.

 

Gourmet

For citizens of Limassol and Larnaka.

Two supermarkets (it is planned to open the third shop in Nicosia in 2020 but at the time of writing it is not opened yet) that are specialized on Russian foods and items.

Gourmet has quite good, convenient to use and simple website. There is only English version of it.

You will find all the goods with pictures and descriptions there. However it has a few flaws as well. Firstly, the prices are not shown on the website, secondly — there aren’t any sections on the website only one long list with all the goods. It’s really not very convenient to search for something specific.

Different companies offer the delivery to the different cities. That’s why the terms of it are different too.

Larnaka:

To make an order, call +357 24103293 or send a message on Facebook.

Delivery cost is 5 Euros within the city, 7 Euros for remote areas (Oroklini, Dhekelia etc).

Minimal order is 30 Euros.

Limassol:

To make an order, call +357 25313112 or send a message on Facebook.

The delivery terms in Limassol are more tangled. There isn’t minimum order amount. The delivery price starts at 6,75 Euros (delivery within Moutaggiaka, Germasogeia and Agios Tychonas), 11,75 Euros to other parts of the town and 16,75 Euros outside Limassol.

And that’s not all. Gourmet calculates not only the length of the distance but also the weight of your order. You have to pay 6,75 Euros for every additional 25 kilos.

The standard delivery will proceed on the next day. You can pay an additional cost and receive your order at the same day. This service will cost you 8,95 Euros. And if you need your order immediately, you can pay 15,95 Euros and receive it within two hours.

Well, the diversity of delivery options is good, however the prices are far from reasonable.

 

Cavaway Wine and Drinks Trading LTD

For citizens of Larnaka and Livadia

Cavaway Wine and Drinks Trading LTD is one of the biggest distributor companies in Cyprus that specializes in alcoholic drinks. The company mostly sells it in bulk. There is an offline shop with the area about 1000 quadrat meters in Larnaka.

You can order the delivery here by calling the following phone numbers: :+357 70008588, +357 24637177 or by sending an e-mail to [email protected].

There is no minimum order amount. If your order costs less than 50 Euros, you have to pay 5 Euros for the delivery. You get a free delivery if your order is above 50 Euros.

The website of the company will not help you with your order. There are only heroic tales about the history of the company and partnership offers. What about the alcoholic drinks, I assume that it’s not really hard to make a choice because the most part of the customers know very well what exactly do they want. And if you have seen the desired brand anywhere on the island, they more likely have it at Cavaway too.

 

S.P. Ayios Tychonas Supermarket

For citizens of Limassol and its nearby areas: Agios Tychonas, Armenochori, Moutaggiaka, Germasogeia, Parekklisia, Pyrgos, Moni.

It is a small supermarket that sells everything you will need: vegetables, fruits, bread, frozen food, goods for everyday use, cigarettes and SIM cards.

Minimum order amount is 30 Euros (cigarettes and SIM cards are not included).

The delivery is free of charge.

To make an order, send a message on Facebook or call one of the following numbers: +357 25314921 or +357 25212071.

 

Lidl

For Limassol, Pafos and Famagusta.

Hurray! It turns out Lidl supermarkets have a delivery! Cool. But there is one significant nuance. You can order only the barbeque for 369 Euros and literally nothing else. Perhaps they decided that you may forget about anything else but the barbeque is the thing no Cypriot can spend the lockdown without. I should admit it’s a really strange decision.

 

ZITRONE Health Food Store

For Limassol.

Zitrone Health Food Store describes itself as an organic products shop with the cheapest prices.

There is a section on the website where you can find an Excel file with the list of all the products. The total number of titles is 881. Of course there aren’t any photos in this file, but each title has a short description.

To make an order, call the following number +357 99552503, use Viber +357 99681067 or send a letter to [email protected].

The delivery is free of charge if your order is more than 50 Euros. It will cost you 3 Euros if your order is from 30 to 50 Euros. You can’t make an order if the total amount of goods is less than 30 Euros.

 

Περίπτερο KIOSK

For Limassol.

Kiosk offers a standard assortment: cigarettes, drinks, coffee, sweets and goods for everyday use.

To make an order call the following phone number +357 99419591 or send a message on Facebook.

I couldn’t get any detailed information about delivery cost and minimum order amount.

 

Farm Fresh Deliveries Cyprus

For Larnaka and neighborhood areas.

The shop sells farm products. It differs from other shops by its approach to the sales. The delivery offers boxes with different products.

There are three types of boxes:

• Fruit box.
  It includes apples, oranges, pears, bananas, kiwis, avocados, grapes or strawberries. The total weight is 4 kilos.
• Vegetable box.
  It includes: lettuce, spinach, carrots, tomatoes, bell peppers, cucumbers, lemons, garlic and zucchinis. The total weight is also 4 kilos.
• Mix box.
  It includes everything mentioned above.

If the content of the boxes doesn’t impress you, you can use good old list of the goods to make an order. Particularly since it’s not a supermarket where you’d better to know the specific brands of some products like sausage for example, everything is less complicated when it comes to fruits and vegetables. A lemon is a lemon even when you’re in Africa.

The company doesn’t have a website, but its Facebook page is quite active and informational. There is a list of all available products: 21 kinds of fruits and 31 of vegetables.

It’s more profitable to buy a ready box because its delivery is always free of charge. The price of one box is 15 Euros (12 Euros for club members).

If you decide to create the order by yourself, the delivery will cost you 2,5 Euros. The minimal order amount is still 15 Euros.

To buy products by Farm Fresh Deliveries Cyprus send a message on Facebook or call the following number: +357 94 047788.

The delivery is carried out twice a week: on Wednesdays and on Saturdays.

The company recently plans to extend the coverage of the delivery services to all Cyprus. At the time of writing it is still in process.

 

Fruits, vegetables and bulk items delivery in Larnaca area

Despite it stands “Larnaca area” in the title of the company, it started recently the delivery of products to Limassol and Nicosia too.

It is another farm in Larnaka that opened the delivery service. There are no ready boxes but the company has its own cute features. For example at the time of writing it was following: whatever you order, you will get an additional kilo of cucumbers for free.

Another interesting moment: except fruits and veggies these guys sell homemade olive oil and honey.

Delivery cost: 5 Euros.

To make an order, write them on Facebook or call the following phone number +357 95723134.

You can pay by cash or make a bank transfer.

The delivery is carried out daily, except Saturdays.

 

Сhristodoulos Farm

For all Cyprus.

It’s a big farm not far from Paralimni. It offers both its own production and imported goods.

The design of the website is not bad. All fruits and vegetables on the pictures look very appetizing and mouth watering.

To make an order, call one of these phone numbers +357 23 822141, +357 23740590 or send a letter to [email protected].

By the way I have to warn you that the company’s approach to the customer service is a bit weird. When I called to ask how much will the delivery cost and do they have a minimal order amount, I was told I should call another phone number because they don’t know. I noted that the number I call is on their website as a contact for delivery service and the company representative just hung up on me. May be the reason is that I spoke English. There’s a good chance it will not happen if you speak Greek.

The delivery is carried out daily (except Sundays) from 5 am to 1 am.

The website is available both on Greek and on English.

 

Detelina

For all Cyprus.

Detelina is a company that specializes on expensive organic dairy. Basically you can buy its products in such supermarkets like Papantoniou and Alphamega, the variety on the website is a bit wider though. You can buy yoghurt, milk, sour cream, cottage cheese, ryazhenka etc. Except these products Detelina also sells other organic farm goods: fruits, veggies, bread and meat. You can see the dairy assortment on the website but if you want to buy something except it, you have to ask for the information by the phone.

The delivery is free of charge and is carried out within 48 hours.

To make an order, call this phone number: +357 25715450.

There are several more big chain supermarkets in Cyprus. For example Metro, Smart discount shops, So Easy Stores etc. But at the time of writing they didn’t have a delivery service — refuse walking in step with the times.

Only Metro has added, “Pick up” to the list of its services, but it is still a half-measure. It works as follows. You call the supermarket in advance and ask to gather certain products for you. When all the products are packed, you will get a call that you may come and pick it up. That means you still need to go out but you can avoid meeting people in supermarket.
To sum up the info, there are three important key moments in process of ordering the delivery to your home: the delivery cost, minimal order amount and the assortment. As far as we could see analyzing the existed offers, the variations differ from one store to another.

Here is top 3 best offers according to the customer preferences:

1. Supermarketcy — wide range of goods, the delivery terms are not the best but quite good.
2. Alphamega — a supermarket the people get used to and already love. Even the bugs of its delivery service can’t beat this love.
3. Foody — despite its poor variety of products, its website is one of the most popular and demanded in Cyprus.

Except these leaders we told you about all online shops in this article. But the list of supermarkets that offer the delivery of goods is not full. Some local small shops were not included in the review. At least now you have variations to choose from and know more about this new for many people option — “home delivery”.

Keep calm and stay healthy!
