Cypriot gifts for large budgets
#1 A trip to Cyprus
If you are looking for the best Cypriot gifts for people who are obsessed with Cyprus, then a trip to their beloved island is by far your best option!
There are different ways in which you can gift a trip.
First, you can simply buy a plane ticket through Skyscanner.
Second, you could opt for a fun tour in Cyprus, such as boat tours or visits to ancient ruins. For that, head over to Viator and find the best tours they offer.
And lastly, if you are not quite sure what type of activities the recipient is interested in. Or if you are not sure when he or she will be in Cyprus again, you can also go for a Viator gift card. It’s called the Global Experiences Card and gives the recipient the opportunity to choose from all Viator tours around the world (including Cyprus).

#2 Cyprus-themed phone case
The 190 different Cyprus-themed phone cases are perfect gift ideas for the Cyprus-loving phone addict in your life.
You can go for this fun one with the text “every season is Cyprus season”. Or pick a design yourself.
#3 Cypriot olive oil
One of the most popular gifts from Cyprus is olive oil. The island is filled with olive trees, which is why you can easily find high-quality olive oil in Cyprus.
#4 Map of Cyprus
Maps are travelers’ favorite types of wall decoration. Especially if it’s a map of their favorite country.
I love geometrically shaped maps, which is why I included this particular map. But of course, you can find plenty of other style maps of Cyprus on Etsy.
#5 Cyprus-themed jigsaw puzzle
Do you need Cypriot gifts for puzzle lovers?
Look no further!
This is the gift you need; a jigsaw puzzle of Nicosia.
It’s a 1000-piece puzzle of one of the beautiful old cobbled streets in Cyprus’ capital city.
#6 Water bottle with Cypriot theme
This water bottle is another cool gift for people who love Nicosia; a stainless steel bottle with “I love Nicosia”.
And no worries if you are looking for Cyprus gifts for people who do not like the capital city, there are plenty more designs on Zazzle.
#7 Language courses
A language course is one of my favorite gift ideas for people who love traveling as it allows them to interact with locals in their native language. And that makes these Turkish and Greek language courses awesome Cyprus gifts.
Now, they actually speak a Cypriot dialect, both on the Turkish side and the Greek side. But unfortunately, I couldn’t find any Cypriot Greek or Turkish course online. So I picked standard Greek and Turkish courses instead.
And luckily, the standard languages are also understood on the island. In fact, the standard languages are the official languages (both Turkish and Greek), rather than the Cypriot dialect.
#8 Jewelry from Cyprus
Necklaces by Sister are the perfect gifts from Cyprus for women.
Sister is a Cyprus local brand that sells handmade and unique jewelry, such as this cute lemon-shaped pendant.
#9 Locally-made belt
For more beautiful and authentic gifts from Cyprus, you should definitely check out the brand Tradition Now.
They produce beautiful and traditional products, such as this crochet belt.
Cypriot gifts for mid budgets

#11 Books about Cyprus
A brief history of Cyprus: The story of a divided land
Is the recipient an avid history lover? Then this book about the history of the island is one of the best Cyprus gifts!
The island of missing trees by Elis Shafak
This beautiful novel about the love between a Turkish and Greek Cypriot in times of war is a great gift for someone who loves historical romances.
Bitter lemons of Cyprus
This is another book set during one of the wars that shaped Cyprus. This time it’s in the 1950s and it is about the author’s experiences settling in Cyprus. It’s actually a travel memoir written in a very poetic style.
#12 Candle that smells like Cyprus
For the best nostalgic Cypriot gifts, this is what you need.
A candle with the smell of Cyprus to take the recipient back to their beloved country, even when they’re far away.
#13 Traditional Cyprus cheese
If you are looking for Cyprus gifts for someone who loves cheese, I’ve got great news for you.
Cyprus produces delicious cheese, particularly, halloumi cheese. Which makes this the perfect gift for your cheese-loving friend.

#15 Cyprus travel guides
DK Eyewitness Cyprus
One of the best Cyprus gifts for people who are leaving for a trip to Cyprus is a travel guide. (But always double-check if they have one already). DK Eyewitness publishes beautiful guides that are suitable for all types of travelers. Though if the recipient is more of an adventurous traveler, the next two guides might be better.
The rough guide to Cyprus
The Rough Guide is one of my favorite guidebooks for travelers who love the off-beaten track. So this is a perfect gift if your recipient is someone like that.
Bradt Guide of North Cyprus
The last guidebook on this list is one of the best Cyprus gifts for adventurous travelers who want to explore the Northern part of the island.
#16 Cypriot-themed travel mug

#17 Traditional coffee maker
This is one of my favorite traditional gifts from Cyprus; a briki. A briki is a coffee maker that is often used in Turkey, Cyprus, and Greece to make a traditional cup of coffee.
I highly recommend it for coffee lovers.
I am currently pet sitting in Turkey, and I absolutely love the Turkish (which is basically the same as Cypriot) briki coffee!
And if you are looking for a way to make this gift even better, check out #22.
#18 Cypriot dessert wine
Are you looking for gifts from Cyprus for someone who loves a good drink?
Then you’re in good luck again because there are many delicious wines from Cyprus. Cypriot wines may not be as famous as their Italian cousins, but they are not any less delicious.
The KEO Commandaria St. John wine is a red blend dessert wine and great for people who have a sweet tooth.
#19 Cypriot cookbooks
Cyprus cuisine
Do you need Cypriot gifts for a foodie? Then cookbooks are the gifts you need! Cyprus Cuisine is a great overall cookbook with recipes from all sides of the island.
Taverna: recipes from a Cypriot kitchen
The second cookbook on this list includes delicious recipes from the Greek part of the island. And that’s why this is one of the best Cyprus gifts for people who love Cypriot Mediterranean food.
Oklava: Recipes from a Turkish-Cypriot kitchen
Where the previous cookbook was great for people who love Greek Cypriot food, this is the best gift for people who love middle eastern and Turkish Cypriot food.
#20 Fun shirt
This funny shirt is the perfect gift for someone who never stops talking about how much they love Cyprus.
They will finally have a shirt that reflects their thoughts (And perhaps they will finally shut up about their favorite place in the world).
Cypriot gifts for small budgets
#21 Tote bag with Cyprus-theme
There are over 100 different Cypriot-themed tote bags on Zazzle, so you should have no trouble finding one that the recipient will love.
I quite liked this one that says “Smile, you are in Cyprus”. Because even if the recipient is not in Cyprus, this bag will remind them of their favorite island and make them smile.
#22 Cypriot coffee
Do you want to create one of the best traditional gifts for Cyprus for coffee lovers?
Then adding a bag of Cypriot coffee to the briki is the way to go.
Coffee beans are not grown in Cyprus but are usually imported from Brasil.
However, Laiko coffee is a Cyprus-based brand that makes fine ground coffee which is perfect for Cypriot coffee made with a briki. It’s one of the most popular coffee brands on the island, which is why it’s perfect for people who love Cyprus!
#23 Cyprus travel journal
For anyone who needs Cyprus gifts for a recipient who will travel to Cyprus soon, this is a great idea; a travel journal.
Except, this is not your regular travel journal. It’s a journal that is specific for travelers to Cyprus!
#24 Cypriot-themed luggage tag
Luggage tags are another example of fun and practical Cypriot gifts.
You can find 33 different designs on Zazzle. And if you don’t feel like browsing through all these options, simply go for the one with the Kyrenia castle.
#25 Cyprus travel poster
To finish this list of Cypriot gifts, I’ve got a cute and very affordable item for you; a Cyprus-themed travel poster!
