Ed’s Note, January 2026

It's now an article-based online guide, and with our finger firmly on the pulse of Cyprus, we've been sharing and writing about the best places to eat, drink, and be liesurely merry for over 33 years.  With 76 categories in 8 major cities, we probably have one of the biggest databases on Cyprus, so if you can't find it on our site and you need a personal recommendation send us a message ... and btw, I've got a new drone and one of those steady cam thingies, so get ready for some really cool Live Videos this year as we take What's On Cyprus into a new era ...

Ed’s Note; December 2025

Now I know it might sound crazy, but by the end of December up in the Troodos Mountains, you can go skiing or even Husky Sledding in the morning and by the afternoon you can be swimming in The Mediterranean Sea and that’s just one of the reasons why I think this place is Paradise! 

Ed’s Note October 2025

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!

You all know I love to find something a little different, especially when it falls into our 'Things to Do' category ...

Ed’s Note August 2025

As most of you know, August isn’t my favourite month, probably because it’s just that little bit too hot, especially in those middle two weeks either side of the 15th when many Cypriots and locals are forced to take their annual leave and it gets crazy down on the coastal resorts … Ed's Note for August 2025 is Everything You Need to Know and More ...

I love July, and you all know it's really my favourite month, partly coz it’s my birthday on the 27th and that means I’ve made it another year, and I’ll probably be throwing a party!  The main reason, of course, is it’s peak season, with temperatures in the shade in the high ’30s and it’s getting hotter through 'til August … 'bring it on', I say, we love it hot, that’s why we live here … Mmm, Don’t you just love Cyprus? ...

On one of my afternoon visit's Rob wanted to get into the pool, and to my astonishment, the hotel had that covered too.  The lifeguards brought out this amazing winch-type harness, which has a secure borehole specifically poolside.  In a few minutes, the winch was set in its place, and they lifted Rob into the harness, which swivels over the water and lowers Rob onto a lilo so he can safely float, keeping his head above water.

It’s May already, and as many of you know, it's really my favourite month!  Apart from September, of course, 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 at least the next 6 months! …

‘Tsiknopempti’ in Cyprus’

'Tsiknopempti' in Cyprus’ aka Smoky Thursday or "Barbecue Thursday," and to us its any excuse to light a BBQ ... The beloved tradition in Cyprus that marks the beginning of the final stretch before Lent. Normally falling on the Thursday of the second week of the pre-Lenten period, this day is dedicated to indulging in grilled and roasted meats before the fasting season of Greek Orthodox Easter begins ... leading us to Green Monday.
