Supermarkets in Paphos area?

Hi all!
Does anybody know if there are any supermarkets in the Paphos area that are open late at night?
We land late on (after 22:30) and after we pick the hire car up would like to get some basics before we get to the villa we've booked.

Thanks!!

    The big supermarkets (Lidl, Papantonou, AlphaMega etc.) tend to shut around 7-8 pm weekdays and all day Sunday. Wednesday is early closing.

    However, there are loads of smaller convenience stores that stay open very late 7 days a week.

    The convenience stores are very expensive though, but ok if you only need a few basics and don't mind having to pay well over the odds for them.

    No supermarkets at that time of night, no. Some kiosks/peripteros will still be open so you'll be able to get some supplies there; some of the bakeries, particularly Zorbas, don't shut and might do for the basics.

    You can expect to get bread, pastries, milk, cheese, sliced ham, eggs, fruit juice and water in a good bakery. Kiosks are a law to themselves; they'll sell whatever they can stock and make money on. There you'll probably find drinks, including wine and beer, crisps, long-life pastries, chocolate, tea bags, coffee and the like.

    Between the two does that cover it? If there's something over and above the things listed above then shout out.
