Ayia Napa

WARNING ! You’re gonna find it pretty hard to leave this fantasy to go back to reality …

Anyone who knows Napa, knows, that ‘full of youths’ stigma is just a load of media hype and no different from any other top resort! Fact is, it’s so versatile…

Castle Club, Ayia Napa

Tony Dynamou - 0
With an immense presence in Napa, boasting 4 arenas with a 4000 capacity playing House, Dance, Charts, R'n'B and Hip Hop and Party Classics and there's 14 Bars, with a gorgeous crew serving the best cocktails in town, plus 14 resident DJ's, 2 resident MC's and the biggest chill out zone under the stars, which some people just don’t get past and of course the elevated VIP lounge, up on the mezzanine floor, overlooking the chill out zone which basically means there's something for everyone under one roof.

Sanctuary Fitness Studio, Paralimni

Tony Dynamou - 0
Ladies; As I walked in, I immediately thought, ‘wow this place looks the business’, spacious, with lots of mirrors, hanging fresh plants to increase the oxygen levels, above a row of impressive water-filled Aqua Eyedrop Punch Bags, and along the back wall, a line of very expensive ‘Stages’ Fitness Bikes of Amsterdam … I soon realised I wasn’t wrong.

Karas Fish Taverna, Kapparis

Tony Dynamou - 0
The name Karas is synonymous with quality fresh fish, and it's regarded as one of the best fish restaurants in Cyprus, so its naturally a Cypriots favourite, and purely by reputation, they come from all over Cyprus to eat here !

Old Village Tavern, Ayia Napa

Tony Dynamou - 0
From the outside, it looks delightful, all stone arches, crimson flowers, hanging plants galore, old cart wheels between the arches a few tables and chairs covered by really cool arched wicker canopies with rope curtains, adding a little privacy, while you can watch the world go by, complementing the façade and to the right a Pink old London telephone box, awesome for a cool selfie.

Koursaros Music Bar, Protaras

Tony Dynamou - 0
I love the tall beer barrel tables and stools!  Inside, it's all wood, comfy seating, chandeliers, a cool stage, wicked lighting, music posters, and rock memorabilia all over the place creating a really cozy atmosphere ... oh, and a well cool ambience that's made by lots of like-minded, live music, rock, blues and occasionally jazz freaks, of all ages and nationalities ...

O’Neills Irish Bar & Grill, Kato Paphos

Tony Dynamou - 0
This is, without doubt, one of Paphos' finest eateries ... It's a traditional Irish Bar, so authentic all the furniture was crafted in Ireland an imported over, lots of dark warm wood, benches and stools, cottage cabinets and red brick. There's plenty of room inside, a nice covered smoking room and a lovely breezy sun terrace out front with comfortable seating, and the pub grub just a tad above the rest ... it's just like you've walked into a bar in Dublin, only a bit warmer!

Chloe’s Chinese Restaurant, Paphos

Tony Dynamou - 0
I love the menu which explains the recipes and regional influences, the free Chinese horoscope booklet and the interior design which is traditional, with spacious comfortable seating, separate small rooms for a little privacy, banqueting rooms for up to 50 people, and the view overlooking the harbour through beautifully etched glass windows is breath taking ... and the overall ambience will just carry you all the way into the east.

The Lingo: Excuses aka Mañana

Tony Dynamou - 0
We thought you might appreciate a quick crash course in the basics of the local lingo, which is a sort of slang Greek, aka ‘Horthkatika’ which is basically a village Greek. Most of the locals speak English but they love it if you make an effort to speak their language. I do it in English phonetics so just read in English … Simples! … oh and don’t take it too seriously …

CannaNapa, Cannabis Store, Ayia Napa

Tony Dynamou - 0
Andreas explained "Cannabidiol has no psychoactive properties in the body, in simple words 'you don't get wrecked'.  It helps contribute to the overall well-being of the body and reduces body pains and muscle spasms".  It is also an effective anti-inflammatory and helps with diseases such as in my case cancer, but also psoriasis, epilepsy, depression, anxiety, loss of appetite, and many, many more.  It also helps reduce stress, stops nausea and vomiting, and is antioxidant and neuroprotective ... It's worth opening your mind to natural remedies and CBD is just amazing!

Garden Furniture at Rustic Furniture Collection, Paralimni

Tony Dynamou - 0
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.

Ed’s Note, September 2026

Tony Dynamou - 0
It’s also the season for festivals, markets and events, and September normally brings us a few closing parties, some a little premature, I feel.  There’s still lots happening, and don’t forget to look out for the winter opening parties, theatre, tributes, festivals, and dance events scattered all over the island … follow us on Facebook, and we’ll keep you in touch.

Tony Dynamou - 0
There will be music, there'll be dancing, there'll be children bouncing around, there'll be plates of food arriving at tables ... And somewhere in Meneou, there will be clay-sealed clay ovens quietly doing what Cypriot clay ovens do best, for literally hundreds of years ... Making kleftiko ... We’ll see you there – preferably with an appetite.
