Standing tall and proud on the left of Ayia Napa Harbour is the biggest, most stunning, luxurious yacht on the quay, and we were invited by my very good friend Mike for their Sunset Cruise.  We recently made it on board and I must say, my first impressions were, wow! This boat is definitely the most luxurious yacht on the harbour!

Peter Morton Removals Ltd., Paphos

Tony Dynamou - 0
Moving house can be a very stressful time, likewise moving your business, car, or that prized possession.  Using a professional removals, shipping, and Logistics company will always alleviate those pressures and when it comes to removals, Debbie and Peter Morton personify the word 'professional'. Their reputation is second to none in Cyprus, in fact, to many people, they are the only company they would choose ... currently, that's about 60 families and businesses a week, in fact, we used them when we recently brought over some furniture from Wales, along with 120 Whisky Barrels!

Serena Bay Beach Bar & Restaurant, Pernera

Tony Dynamou - 0
An eatery of the highest esteem, I love the crazy paved terrace, shaded by tall mature trees, that twinkle delightfully as the sun sets, the crazy colourful tables and chairs, almost kindergarden'ish, little alcoves of comfy seating, hammocks set up high in the trees, whilst down a tier, skirting the rocks, a pathway leading to the almost private beach on the left, that'll have mellow music and waiter service and there's plenty of sunbeds, all with a view to die for, a sea of serenity at Sirena Bay ...

What's so special about these designs, is the hydraulic reclining system added to the designs of these chairs and sunbeds.  Taking a seat on the first set, a 6-seater, dining table, I have to say I was very impressed at how smooth the high-back seat reclined with just a push of the button.
