So I asked Lefteris to tell me more; "I decided to grab the chance to reopen Bliss Bar in Protaras because I thought it would be a good idea to combine the bar with my entertainment agency and so far it's working like a dream ...

What started as a weekend gig, grew into a week long party, a week long pure rock festival, live bands on a big stage, and often in intimate venues, where you get a chance to grab a drink and socialise with like minded mates you've not seen since the last festival, as well as the band members who hang around the venues, along with the thousands of rock fans that started to follow Cyprus Rocks Festival over ten years ago ...

As you all know, I love to tell you about my favourite finds, and in my hunt to discover the best beachside bars and eateries in Cyprus, this one is without a doubt one of my favourites, and I was more than pleasantly surprised when I found out that it's strongly linked to Paragka Beach Bar on Trinity Bay in Ayia Triada Bay, Pernera

... from the intro to the end, the girls put on an funny and spectacularly electric show with such passion and sooo much energy !!!

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!

The National Health Service is certainly one alternative, but there are other options ... here'sa a quick note on what's available for you ...

Accepting children from 3 months old up to 4 years old.  Barbara told me "we also offer an after-school program, where children from pre-schools until 10 years old are also welcomed".  "They can be collected from school via the Nursery's Mini Bus, served lunch and helped with their homework whether it's English or Greek! Snacks can also be provided for your children.  The areas covered for this service are all over Larnaca".

Do something you've neve done before and take a walk on the wild side ... Based at Trinity Beach in the Ayia Triada area of Protaras, this adventure sport is totally unique in Europe!  It's an Undersea Adventure like no other and, you really must try this it's loads of fun! ...

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?
