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…

Tony Dynamou - 0
I am delighted to introduce you to The Lordos Group of Hotels as I've worked closely with their 3 hotels and indeed the Lordos family since 1993.  They are without a doubt one of Cyprus' leading companies and their 3 hotels certainly excel when it comes to location, comfort, and hospitality.  Each hotel with its own specific features, each hotel unique in its own way, all ideally situated in perfect locations, pretty much, right on the beach!

Melekkis Shopping Centre, Paralimni

Tony Dynamou - 0
The décor of their elegant shop is delightful, from the moment you open those big, solid doors.  The centrepiece, a spectacular glass bubble chandelier, surrounded by very impressive and immaculate displays of the finest, exclusively designed jewellery in Cyprus, in fact internationally, as Melekkis is becoming an international brand name with plans to expand worldwide in the future..

Online Gift Shopping, Cyprus

... her idea was to gather together a selection of gifts from small Cypriot companies, preferably handmade and handcrafted gifts, unusual, unique and original ... she makes up your hampers and boxes herself and above all Irene loves to help make people happy ... I liked that bit!

Garden Kamara House, Kato Drys, Larnaca

Tony Dynamou - 0
As I arrived, my first impressions were it looked quite 'normal', a fairly plain frontage, edged in gorgeous natural stone walls, wonderful wooden shutters, but through the big antique wooden front doors and into the lounge and you're in another world ... making it obvious why its a favourite for wedding planners ...

Blood Brothers Tattoo & Piercing Studio

Tony Dynamou - 0
With over 25 years experience between them the guys have been working together for over 8 years now. They really are a great team, working well together to fully understand each clients individual needs.  Together this duo have over 30,000 designs to choose from but they also really enjoy creating custom designs and will even freehand illustrate straight onto the body, which by the way, requires exceptional artistic talent! So much so that CH 4's 'My Tattoo Addiction' came to Cyprus to put them on the TV program.

Cavo Maris Beach Hotel, Protaras

Tony Dynamou - 0
I've had the pleasure to work closely with this impeccable hotel since 1993.  To be honest if you ever stay here, there's a very good chance you'll go back!  I think its because it's still a family run hotel, with many of their staff staying long enough to be family and its without a doubt regarded as one of Cyprus's finest hotels.  In fact, they were recently awarded a Trip Advisor Travelers' Choice Award for 2021 to add to an ever increasing impressive list of awards over the years.

Next to the Lake Paralimni is best described as Ayia Napa and Protaras’ ‘live in’ village, Para-limni means, next to the lake!  And we still have, arguably, our winter fill as evidence, enough to confuse…

Gyradiko & Grill by Vangelis Takeaway & Delivery, Paralimni

Tony Dynamou - 0
This is where they excel, specialising in over 20 different choices of kebabs.  Gyros here is a choice of 4 meats, pork, chicken from Greece, beef and lamb from the UK, each cut into thin slices, layered and seasoned, and set onto big skewers ready to be imported.  Vangelis said, "I spend a little extra, but I get the very best" ... I asked "do you then add a little more seasoning" and he said "there's really no need", tbh, the beef Gyro was probably the best I've ever tasted ...

Fantasy Boat Party 2022, Ayia Napa Harbour

Tony Dynamou - 0
It just wouldn't be a fantasy without a few adult party games, you know, the ones your mum warned you about 😉 They're loads of fun, so you might as well join in! and btw, on the way back to the harbour there's another 30 minute free cocktail bar on the lower deck, and to top it off, tickets to the top clubs on the island … oh, and don’t worry if you forget your camera coz every trip is captured in HD

The Mermaid Cruise, Protaras

Tony Dynamou - 0
The story begins as any good story should; 'Once upon a time' there were two mermaids ... the kids all listen with a sense of anticipation ... then there's a fun treasure hunt led by their onboard characters; Pirate Billy Bones and the delightful Tinkerbell to keep the nippers occupied.

Papageorgiou Hotel & Domestic Equipment, Paralimni

Tony Dynamou - 0
Not just for hotels, this place caters for everyone who loves to cook ... The stock is extensive, to say the least, and delivery is nationwide, which is why they're favoured by many top hotels, restaurants, bars, cafeterias, apartments and private and domestic homes.  I think it's the only place you can go to find just what you need, on every visit!

D. K. Stylianou Garden Centre, Xylotymbou

Tony Dynamou - 0
... There's literally tens of thousands of plants here, everything you can possibly imagine and more ... carefully selected breeds, making sure they choose an extensive selection that can withstand the Cyprus climate ... many are cultured right here in their grounds in very impressive greenhouses, which in turn helps them to keep their prices so low ...

Play 4 All Bowling, Playground & Party, Paralimni

Tony Dynamou - 0
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!

Things To Do

admin - 0
Many years ago, we tagged this wonderful rock as The Mythological Party Playground of the Mediterranean, and versatility is our speciality, and as our Leisure & Pleasure market continues to expand for the fast-growing cosmopolitan Cypriots, so too do the options of things to do ... and as I've said many times, make sure you do at least one thing you've never done before ...

Parko Paliatso Luna Park, Ayia Napa

Tony Dynamou - 0
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!
