What's On Cyprus

The infamous philosopher 'Plato' describes this as 'Paradise' and who are we to argue ?

we've got good reason to love it, they've been partying here since the gods invented party some 12,600 years ago ...

By the time all the Welsh and their very able assistants have recovered from those parties we’ll be into our annual carnival season, starting on Friday 4th March, much as we’re not allowed to have carnival parades again this year, we are allowed to drink at the bars and maybe dance on them too, so many bars, restaurants and clubs will celebrate by throwing a carnival party or two anyway ... so stay tuned here.

of course it's high summer, the cold water isn't cold enough, the temperature will reach over 40²C by mid July

As many of you know I love Cyprus with a passion and I've always said; "Cyprus is versatility to the extreme!"  How extreme? well, tell me where else you can ski in the Troodos mountains in the morning and just over 45 minutes later you can be swimming in the med?  Come to think of it; why not do it the other way around, then you can get into some  'Après Ski' chilling out next to a lovely open log fire, in a gorgeous log cabin, in the Troodos Mountains and then you can do it the other way around the next day!

It's May, my favourite month!  Mainly because it's definitely summer, normally hitting over 30°C in the shade.  You just have to love this time of the year, longer sunny days, through crystal clear skies, there's no heat haze yet, and slightly warmer evenings, so you can go out in a t-shirt.  We might get a quick shower, but chances are it won't rain again 'til October, except for the very occasional crazy hail storm in August?

It's september and one things for sure, this is my favourite month, honest ! ... I can't believe it's here already, the summer has...

Oh, and if you think it’s quiet in December let’s not forget, it’s time for work’s parties, warm-up for Christmas Parties, Christmas parties, New Year parties and Fancy Dress parties and lots of Christmas markets, festivals, live gigs and naturally we’ll all be getting together with family and friends, to eat too much, drink too much, and with a bit of luck enjoy a little sex on the beach ? … calm down, it’s just a cock tale

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 ...

August of course is normally peak season, so expect it to get a bit busier on the coast, partly because pretty much the whole of Cyprus’ commerce and industry shuts down for about 3 weeks in August, it’s not worth trying to work coz if it gets to over 40°C in the workplace, the unions pull out the staff, and it’s definitely gonna be over 40°C, so they might as well close down for three weeks, but of course, it's a nightmare coz you can’t get anything done lol … no probs, as we say in Cyprus 'Avrion' it’s the Cypriots favourite word, but I'm sure you'll witness an occasional pull your hair out moment lol ...
