If you mean the lovely glass ones, then there is a shop in the road in Girne that leads off the main road down to the Liman Casino, close to the shop that sells all types of carved wooden boxes etc. He is a lovely man and has some gorgeous lanterns. They are not cheap but we bought one in Turkey of a similar price.

It is the same one exroyal and it is my absolute favourite shop here. Beautiful glass and mosaic lanterns and lamps in all shapes and sizes as well as hand painted bowls and tiles. He is a lovely man and always gives us Turkish tea or coffee.

Yep I second that, bought the lights for my bedroom as well as other bits & pieces over the years, he always has a smile & offers you a drink. That and the wooden shop nearby are my favourite shops.

According to Living magazine you can get one free- and a belly dancer- but you have to buy the new house that goes with it!
