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…

Over a lovely coffee, Trish explained, “We absolutely love our job, because we get a buzz out of helping people find just what they want, after all, it's a big moment in our clients' lives".    Trish continued, "First of all, we like to make sure everything is in order to sell the property, and our success is built around our honesty.  We are 100% transparent and don’t hide anything from the buyer.  If the property has faults, we will point them out!!  And then we offer solutions on how to put them right, having built solid relationships over the past 18 years with local companies that we can trust and recommend".

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'!

Tipsy O’Turtle, Your Friendly Local, Pernera, Protaras

Tony Dynamou - 0
I loved this place the moment I saw the name, … It's a British Style pub, from the outside all white and doors, really cool signage and some comfy seating to enjoy a drink in the late sunny afternoons and watch the world go by, hanging baskets and signs everywhere. 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!!!

Tulum Beach Bar, Trinity Beach, Ayia Triada

Tony Dynamou - 0
It's where Tranquillity & Energy Unite, Tulum Beach Bar effortlessly bridges the gap between relaxation and excitement.  As the weekdays roll in, the atmosphere transforms into a sanctuary of calm.  Whitewashed wooden furniture and flowing curtains create an ambiance that beckons you to escape the chaos of daily life.  But hold on, for when the weekend sun rises, Tulum flips its script.  Enter a world where the best local DJs spin Techno melodies that resonate through the air.  The contrast is nothing short of astonishing.

Gold Temple, Asian, Thai & Sushi Restaurant, Coral Bay, Paphos

Tony Dynamou - 0
I caught up with Nikos who also owns Blazing Saddles Pub next door, who told me "I opened the Indian Restaurant in 2013 because there wasn't an authentic one in the area.  Then one year later my customers persuaded me that there wasn't a decent Chinese either", and chop-chop it happened!  ... And then, quite recently Nikos again listened to his customers' wishes, and added Thai & Sushi, so as you're in Cyprus, now you might as well 'Meze' it up, Asian style!

Artificial Grass by Rustic Furniture Collection, Paralimni

It’s so hard to grow natural grass in Cyprus, so Jimmy is the main agent, importing this fantastic selection of synthetic, aka artificial grass of varying grades and blades, of 30mm, 35mm, and 40 mm length, in rolls of 25 metres length by 2 or 4 metres in width.  It can be cut to fit any size lawn, big or small, so you can make your garden lush green all year …

I was delighted to be invited to find out more about this exceptional, luxury chocolate manufacturing company.  Established in 1990 by Constantinos' father Stavros.  Their story is almost as lovely as their chocolate tastes ... omg!  Constantinos made me very welcome as we talked about how it all started ...

DJS Professional, Light, Sound & Automation, Cyprus

Tony Dynamou - 0
Specialising in sound, light, and automation, without doubt Andreas' expertise is evident, with many top bars and clubs trusting in his knowledge and experience, to be honest, I've never met anyone who knows audio better than this guy, and listened with interest as he critiqued the sound and light system at Ministry of Sound in London on our visit a few years back, ask him to tell you about it 😉 

Kings of Coconuts, Cyprus

Tony Dynamou - 0
Their Coconuts are full of raw unpasturised fresh coconut juice, and tasty young coconut flesh, packed with electrolytes, containing as much potassium as two bananas and with zero cholesterol, almost no calories, and extremely low in fat, a perfect part of any healthy diet, that will help you build your immune system.

I'd been trying to catch up with Andrew at Julianna Rental Cars in Kapparis for ages.  Renowned as one of the most reliable Car Rental Companies in the area and it was my pleasure to sit him down for a chat ... Closing four decades this year Julianna has become a name synonymous with quality and affordability .

Rock FM Radio, Cyprus

Tony Dynamou - 0
Based up on the West Coast, Rock FM play rock but it's a mix of soft rock & some 80’s Retro and of course all the Classics.  It's 24/7 with top presenters live on weekdays between 7 am and 7 pm, when it switches to non-stop music.  Oh, and you don’t have to be on the West Coast to tune in.  I often listen Online and I live on the East Coast; in my opinion, it’s a really cool station!

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!
