What's On Cyprus

I've known the crew since the early '90s and watched as they put all their love and devotion into their business, to build up a regular repeat customer which allowed Pafos Watersports to keep growing.  Today they're probably the biggest and arguably one of the best water sports and boat trips companies in Cyprus.

... At midnight all the lights are extinguished in the church and the priest comes from behind the doors of the altar carrying a candle.  Walking to somebody in the front row and lighting their candle, this person and so on then pass the light from candle to candle and the light fills the church, symbolizing the Resurrection.  Everyone then kisses one another and exchanges the words 'Christos Anesti' - Christ has risen, 'Alithos Anesti' - truly He has risen. ...

It’s May already, and it really is my favourite month, apart from September, but maybe the  'summer’s really here' thing just tips that 'relief from the heat' thing.  Seriously, it must be summer because we’re all in T-shirts, shorts and sandals and we’ve put our boots away for the next 6 months! ... oh and, we need to put the butter in the fridge, and I've taken the quilt off the bed and I'm just sleeping under a sheet and blankie, it really must be summer!

Talking about beaches, Ayia Napa and Protaras on the east coast, boast 2 of the Best Beaches in Europe and tbh, we're blessed with the nicest sea I’ve ever had the pleasure to swim in, in the world ... Add stuff like; Licensing hours currently ‘til 2.30 am, and then, of course, our night clubs will take you through to sunrise, not too good for the tan unless you go straight to the beach after a good night out, speaking by experience 😉

It’s spring, but there’s still so much to do if you look around, tbh, Cyprus is so versatile, you’ll probably still be able to ski and snowboard and even go Husky Sledding up in the Troodos Mountains 'til mid-March.  Imagine being able to go snowboarding in the morning and wakeboarding on the med in the afternoon ... Only in Cyuprus!

I recently heard that my very good friends Phill and Jenny were on the move, and I had the pleasure to live next door to them last year. This is a rare opportunity to buy this unique property set on over 7,000 square metres in Xylophagou village. Filo Terra, is for sale, and for a really cool price! ...

Every year we think it rained more and it's colder than last year, but I'm sure this year it did and it was. OMG How cold???  But you'd better not blink or you’ll miss spring, that’s the last two weeks of February, when the blossoms are out, floral aromas everywhere and everything is sooooo green … I just love it!

So I asked Christos, How did it all start?;  He said "Cars have always been in my blood I used to finish school and go home and fix cars ... Like many boys, I wanted to be a Rally Driver, behind the wheel.  By the age 16 I'd built my first rally car and started entering races.  I asked what was your first car?, amazingly he said, "It was a low-weight 800kg, Ford Escort Mk 1", omg! just one of my favourite cars ever!

... It’s the day we all go out to the fields and light BBQs and stop eating meat ’til that lovely BBQ Lamb, 49 days later on Easter Sunday 5th May … oh and, they fall on any day of the week here, so with 6 Mondays and 1 Friday on the calendar, we’ll get 7 long weekends this year! … I’d better stock up on the charcoal!

You may have noticed, that I love Cyprus with a passion and I’ve always said; “Cyprus is versatility to the extreme!”  How extreme? I hear you shout; well, where else you can ski in the Troodos Mountains in the morning, and in under an hour you can be swimming in the Med, which btw never drops below 15°C ... Here's a quick look at What's On in Cyprus this month ...
