Learn Greek at the supermarket!

You don't really need to speak Greek when you go to one of the big supermarkets on the island.
A supermarket aisle in Cyprus is fairly similar to anywhere else in the world.

BUT you may need to ask for things at the deli counter or in the butcher department.

Many staff on these counters do not necessarily speak English well, so it may be worth your while to learn some Greek for common things you are likely to need in the supermarket.

Remember, as always, put the stress on the part of the word in italics

The main supermarket chains on the island are Papantoniou, E&S (Co-Op), Carrefour and Orphanides. Butdon't forget the small froutaria which sell fresh fruit and vegetables and other produce. The fruit and vegetables areoften as cheap, if not cheaper than the big supermarkets.
