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…

Savino Rock Bar, Larnaca

Still one of the oldest, most classic and much loved pubs in Larnaca, after over 30 years ... the décor, all wood, prints and rock memorabilia everywhere, the courtyard out back all traditional and delightful. It's Cypriot, Rock hospitality, all the way!  with music ranging from Classic Rock to Jazz and Rhythm & Blues, and even occasionally, a little Reggae ... I just love this pub!

Kalamies Beach Restaurant & Bar, Pernera

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 !!!

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 ...

Peter Morton Removals Ltd., Paphos

0
Moving house can be a very stressful time, likewise moving your business, car, or that prized possession.  Using a professional removals, shipping, and Logistics company will always alleviate those pressures and when it comes to removals, Debbie and Peter Morton personify the word 'professional'. Their reputation is second to none in Cyprus, in fact, to many people, they are the only company they would choose ... currently, that's about 60 families and businesses a week, in fact, we used them when we recently brought over some furniture from Wales, along with 120 Whisky Barrels!

'Presentation' is nine tenths of the sale and all I can say is when you see the quality of this team's work it'll exceed your expectations and you'll realise, just how good they are, and if you are selling Property its a must ... The inevitable result is how much easier it'll be to sell your property, quicker ... or help promote or sell your business more effectively.

With two safari's every day, your day starts with collection from your hotel at 9.30 for morning safari or 2.30 pm for the afternoon run ... a quick tuition on the bikes and a choice of trips ... the first is a little more extreme, heading out of Napa to the stunning scenery of Cape Greco,  taking in the sea caves, for a bit of rock jumping, and a small waterfall with panoramic views, then on through the beautiful coast town of Protaras and back to Napa the long way around ...

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.

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.
