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…

Melekkis Shopping Centre, Paralimni

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..

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".

Luxury Time Charters, Ayia Napa & Protaras

Tony Dynamou - 0
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'!

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.

Sonny’s Restaurant, Paphos

Tony Dynamou - 0
Coming outta Shepherds Bush in London, Chris with over 30 years experience and catering in his blood, followed his father's footsteps and in 2012 he finally sealed the deal to buy the old Banana Cabaret Bar in Kissonerga, better known for its sauciness than its sauces 😉  He named it 'Sonny's, after his son, so I suppose it was inevitable Sonny would join his dad sooner or later, together they make an unbeatable team! ... And tbh, you'll probably need to book to make sure you find a table!

CyproNatura, Ayia Napa

Tony Dynamou - 0
Getting into the natural food thing isn't as hard as you think ! Replacing things like crisps and biscuits, with really fresh nuts and totally fresh, dried, and sugarless fruits is easy, tbh, knowing you're not putting rubbish inside you is a fulfilling emotion and actually I discovered ages ago the tastes are just awesome !

Party City, Cyprus

Tony Dynamou - 0
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.

Aristides Craft Distilling, Tseri, Nicosia

Tony Dynamou - 0
My initial interest was to find out about their gins, Aris explained, "it's what originally brought us back to Cyprus, 'to create a quality craft gin'.  Our initial inspiration was the aroma of The Troodos Mountains after a long dry summer when it first rains and we wanted to capture exactly that and put it in a bottle and we called it Aoratas Dry Gin which in fact last year won a gold medal.

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.

Kalamies Beach Restaurant & Bar, Pernera

Tony Dynamou - 0
Over a delicious coffee, and my little chat with head Chef and partner Maria, it became blatantly obvious why this restaurant has won the 'Best Fish Restaurant' in the 'Time Out' and 'Check In Cyprus' Eating Out Awards three times in the past decade ... Probably because Maria has this uncanny knack to recognise flavours that complement each other ... Seriously, this lady is on another level !!!

Strength & Spices, Limassol

Tony Dynamou - 0
It all started some years ago, when for personal reasons my father needed to assist with memory loss as he grew older.  Dr. Anabtawi aka Mo, has a Ph.D. in Chemical Engineering but he's very scientific, coupled with countless years of experience as a registered nutritionist, creating a formula of 23 natural ingredients that were blended together to create their Memory Booster.  The results were almost immediate and samples given to friends and when he got re-orders, Strength & Spices were born ...

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!
