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…

Party City, Cyprus

I can safely say that Party City Cyprus is one of the most prominent event planning and party services providers in Cyprus, offering a full spectrum of solutions for celebrations ranging from intimate gatherings to large-scale weddings and corporate events.  Based primarily in Nicosia, the company has established itself as a “one-stop destination” for event organisation, combining creativity, logistics, and hospitality under one brand.  Oh, and their flexible pricing and service levels make it accessible to both budget-conscious and premium clients.

For the third year running it was the opening party of The Cyprus Rocks Festival at Aeyialos Beach Bar and Restaurant, in Protaras, just after the Thomas Cook collapse yet there were hundreds of traveling classic rock fans, joined by almost as many locals, enjoying the start of what was gonna be the best festival ever

Traveller’s Baronesa Dance Bar, Ayia Napa

Tony Dynamou - 0
There's regular theme nights including Belly Dance Nights and Fancy Dress Nights, so you might find them looking like police officers and even witches ... Naturally, the girls like to have fun, so they'll dance for you at your table, maybe even a little striptease and if you'd like something a little more private?  Just ask, who knows it might be your lucky night?

Golden Bay Beach Hotel, Larnaca

Tony Dynamou - 0
I am delighted to add The Lordos Group of Hotels to our guide as I've worked closely with their 3 hotels and the Lordos family since 1993.  They are without a doubt one of Cyprus' leading companies and their 3 hotels certainly lead the way for comfort and hospitality.  Each hotel with it's own specific features, each hotel unique in it's own way.  All ideally situated in perfect locations, pretty much, right on the beach!

Husky Sledding Cyprus, Mount Olympus, Troodos

Tony Dynamou - 0
"we were up in the Troodos mountains, letting the dogs taste a little snow, run around and have fun, my friend Garry rented a sled, and while playing with the dogs he just asked me to hand him the leads, and it was amazing, we couldn't believe it, the huskies absolutely loved it, they couldn't wait to pull the sled again and again, wagging their tails and barking to let us let them run ... so we had a purpose built sled specially made for us and now the dogs can do what they do, naturally, and as they loved it so much, I thought why not share this with like minded people".

Cypriot

I wouldn't say we produce the best meat by far, but our pork is amazing and anywhere we fall back a bit we import so you'll find that cooking Cypriot style is wonderful and of course I am a little bias, but when it comes to BBQ ... No one does it better !!!

I was delighted to be invited to 'Play 4 All' to catch up with owner Lucas Polycarpou and I have to say, I had no idea just how much they do here, with 6 Full Size Bowling Alleys, a Children's Play Room, called 'The Jungle' and a fully fitted club style party room called 'La Mour' for up to 150 of your friends.  There's also a restaurant with a top chef presenting a full a' la carte menu and that's just for starters, excuse the pun … oh and, a few big screen TV's so you can just pop in for a drink to watch all the live sports and the footie! … So it really is a fun place for kids, and grown ups!

I love this place, the sounds of gears and links chinking, smothered by fair ground music, the smell of candy floss and bbq corn on the cob, the multi coloured lights and occasional girly screams. It's really cool idea coz you just buy a Wrist Band depending on your ages and what you want to do!

Ed’s Note October 2026

Tony Dynamou - 0
It’s October already, that went quick!  and it really is one of my favourite months!  Partly because that long hot summer is definitely over, or is it? … I asked the fishermen and they said it might not rain again ‘til mid-November, with temperatures still up in the 30°C’s, as we enter October, that’s about 90°F in English.  Just as we predicted back in May, it looks like we’re going to have another Indian summer and we’ll still be going to the beach in December, Mmm, don’t you just love Cyprus!
