The Loop, Brunch, Coffee, Life, Paralimni
Over a gorgeous cappuccino I asked Vaida, why she created 'The Loop'? … She explained; "I'm originally from Lithuania, but lived in Holland for many many years and fell in love and married Nicos a Cypriot and finally moved to Cyprus just 8 years ago" … Vaida continued, "I noticed there was a distinct lack of places to get good fresh food, not just vegetarian and vegan but specialising in healthy eats and healthy diets".
Gyradiko & Grill by Vangelis Takeaway & Delivery, Protaras
This is where they excel, specialising in over 20 different choices of kebabs. Gyros here is a choice of 4 meats, pork, chicken from Greece, beef and lamb from the UK, each cut into thin slices, layered and seasoned, and set onto big skewers ready to be imported. Vangelis said, "I spend a little extra, but I get the very best" ... I asked "do you then add a little more seasoning" and he said "there's really no need", tbh, the beef Gyro was probably the best I've ever tasted ...
Party City, Cyprus
I can safely say that Party City Cyprus is one of the most prominent event planning and party services providers in Cyprus, offering a full spectrum of solutions for celebrations ranging from intimate gatherings to large-scale weddings and corporate events.

Ed’s Notes May 2026
It’s Summer in Cyprus
It’s May already, and those of you who know me know it’s really my favourite month, well, apart from September. But...
Property
Firstly, before you buy, I would suggest you rent a place for a year to give you time to make the right decisions. The property boom started in the early 2000’s and just continued with prices varying from town to town and location, location …

Paddy’s Bar, Ayia Napa
What really makes this bar so special is the ambience, unique in Napa. It’s many a favourite place to meet to start the night out in Napa, often as not, some just stay all night, 'til the clubs open. It usually starts off mellow and ends with you dancing and singing your heart out. The beauty of it is the journey; early in the evening, it feels intimate, almost like a small Irish pub session. As the night builds, the tempo lifts, the crowd joins in, and suddenly the whole place becomes one big chorus ... Just brilliant!
