Club Ice, Ayia Napa

0
This is without question one of Napa’s top clubs. Going since the nineties when Napa was the club capital of Europe, Club Ice is still one of the best clubs in Europe!  Holding a little under 2000 clubbers it's one of my favourite DJ auditoriums and the backdrop is ice cool 😉 and the lighting and sound system is absolutely awesome!

Tatiana continued ... "It wasn't long before Pantelis decided to make his hobby a business", and as we all know this guy is a perfectionist.  In 2012, he launched Luxury Time Charters, and year by year the fleet grew, adding another five Yachts up 'til 2022.  By then, an array of tour operators and booking agents were actively seeing our company as being unique in Cyprus" ... I must say; 'I have to agree'!

Serena Bay Beach Bar & Restaurant, Pernera

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 ...

Inside, pristine, the bar wood and red brick, it's spacious with comfy seating, out back a Unique Beer Garden with regular live music events. Over to the right a separate games area, with pool table and regular Killer Pool and a Bar Football table … and to top it off one of the best chef's in Cyprus!!!

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 was very impressed at how smooth the high-back seat reclined with just a push of the button.
