HERACLIS

This ice cream parlour (Ηρακλής/Iraklis) is an institution that has been delighting Nicosians since 1939. It's here, on Ledra Street, that the best ice creams in the whole city are served. There's a choice of flavors in the form of sorbets, frozen yoghurts, scoops, cones, compositions... There are even fat-free and sugar-free ice creams. The light fare (pizzas, burgers and salads) is not worth the detour. But the place remains a good address, especially for families, thanks to its small park with attractions (for a fee) for children.
