It's February, I thought January was never gonna end?  Now, you just have to love February in Cyprus!  It's spring on the island of Aphrodite, our Goddess of Love and there's romance in the air, everywhere, especially on the 14th when we celebrate Valentine’s Day, which this year falls on a Friday so you might as well make love all weekend! ... oh and, I love watching the postman struggle to get all my cards in the little letterbox.

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 merry for over 32 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 ...

By weekday this place is pure chillout ... but on the weekend it's event time ... and August Bank Holiday Friday Simon Vitulo was setting the tone for the whole weekend ...

Tssssss! Now normally, when it gets this hot we just go for a swim in the sea, but in August even that doesn't work coz the sea is more like a tepid bath.  So, I’ll let you into a little secret, my absolute favourite thing to do in August is to stand under one of our waterfalls in the Troodos mountains, mmm, even in August it’s ice cold!

I love July, 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 be throwing a party and of course, it's peak season with temperatures in the shade in the high ’30s and it’s getting hotter by the day … “bring it on”, we say, we love it hot, that's why we live here ... Mmm, Don’t you just love Cyprus?

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 ...

It might sound crazy, but by the end of December, in the morning you can go skiing or even Husky Sledding in the Troodos Mountains, and just over an hour later you can swim in The Mediterranean Sea and that’s just one of the reasons why I think this place is paradise!  And remember Cypriots live for the table, so be warned, in the festive season you’ll probably put on a few kilos!

I just had a call from Nicholas @ The Old Village Tavern.  It's Live Greek Bouzouki Night every Friday and Saturday to accompany your authentic Cypriot cuisine cooked by the world-famous Head Chef 'Mike' who btw, has an international flair for cooking ... while out front, Nicholas and the crew provide traditional Cypriot hospitality to the extreme.

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'!

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!
