Hi Guys, anyone recommend shops selling smaller but very necessary items required to kit out villas ...cutlery, crockery, kitchen utensils and bedding etc

All such things we need from kettles to toasters?



Would be helpful if websites could be posted... regards Joseph

Bring as much stuff as you can from the UK each time you visit. Amazing what small electrical items (i.e.from Tesco) you can get in hand luggage. Save a lot of money and can be better quality.

The last 2 electrical items bought from the UK (Argos) have gone wrong and had to be taken back, luckily my husband flies back and forth frequently and we have got our money back.



We have just paid probably £10 over the odds for a wireless router, we could have quite easily got one cheaper in the UK, but would have been stuffed without it, and at least we can take it back within the hour.



What happens when your cheap Tesco's kettle blows up with guests in your villa?



There are Philips, Rowenta, Morphy Richards, Braun, as well as the more well-known Turkish brands like Beko and Arcelik (different name, same company) just shop around there is plenty of choice and lots of sales on at the moment.



All the major supermarkets have good homeware ranges, Lemar is pretty good.



For bedding, Toros Home Store usually have a good range of stuff.



Hope that helps.
