Our Story
We're two sisters who turned a shared childhood love into a family business. What started as a simple love quickly turned into a passion—one that we knew we wanted to turn into something meaningful.
In February 2022, we brought that dream to life and started MaRa Candles & more, a small family business dedicated to creating handmade candles that bring warmth, comfort, and peace into your home.
A year later, in 2023, we opened our very own candle store in Larnaca—the biggest candle shop in Cyprus. With a huge variety of candle shapes, colors, and scents, it’s what we like to call a heaven of candles.
From the beginning, we’ve believed that lighting a candle can transform a space, ease your mind, and make everyday moments feel special. That’s why we handcraft each candle with care, using 100% natural soy and olive wax, and only eco-friendly, non-toxic ingredients.
We’re so happy to share our creations with you!
Lots of love,
Maria & Rachel
