What's On Cyprus

Public Holiday’s in Cyprus 2024

Medical, Doctors and Pharmacies

Ayia Napa

WARNING ! You’re gonna find it pretty hard to leave this fantasy to go back to reality …

Anyone who knows Napa, knows, that ‘full of youths’ stigma is just a load of media hype and no different from any other top resort! Fact is, it’s so versatile…

Maria specialises in importing foods and more from all over Europe including; the UK, Romania, Germany, Sweden, Slovakia, and Poland, with more than a little bias towards Bulgaria, and even India, in fact, all over Asia. So, there are great choices in European and Asian style sauces and ingredients and they even sell Basmati rice by the 20 Kg sack for crazy cheap prices.

Karlina Restaurant Cafe Bar, Paphos

Tony Dynamou - 16th July 2022 0

Times have changed as far as the fascia goes, but for the past 28 years, the service is still exemplary and the cuisine is as traditional as it gets. It's a family-run restaurant, from Luigi's warm welcome to the homemade Cypriot specialties using mum's secret recipes and the lovely touch of complimentary seasonal fruit, grown in dad's orchard, that they'll bring to your table for afters.

Blue Spice Restaurant & Art Gallery, Pernera

Tony Dynamou - 15th December 2023 0

As soon as you see this place, you'll know it oozes quality ... but tbh, it's much, much, more than it first seems ... Effectively, it's a mini resort, with a spacious area boasting a large swimming pool and cafe-style pool bar, surrounded by mature trees, delicious green lawn, palm sun shades, canvas sails and a lovely relaxed ambiance in a truly wonderful setting with free sunbeds and free WIFI ... and they're open all year except maybe January ...

Larnaca

The Hub of Cyprus If you’re staying in Larnaca, this port of old, discovering the island’s other attractions couldn’t be easier with countless day trips in every direction, and meanwhile you’ll find out why it’s…

Coffee Lab, Paralimni

Tony Dynamou - 29th October 2023 0

As coffee moves to a higher level in Cyprus, Coffee Lab in Paralimni is leading the way ... They specialise in real fresh ground coffee from a single source, by that I mean they know exactly which Coffee Farm it comes from and that includes speciality coffee from Brazil, Ethiopia, Guatemala and Kenya and if you're lucky you'll catch one of their limited editions ... Trust me they guys know their coffee ... More ...

April 2024

Tony Dynamou - 1st April 2024 0

Talking about beaches, Ayia Napa and Protaras on the east coast, boast 2 of the Best Beaches in Europe and tbh, we're blessed with the nicest sea I’ve ever had the pleasure to swim in, in the world ... Add stuff like; Licensing hours currently ‘til 2.30 am, and then, of course, our night clubs will take you through to sunrise, not too good for the tan unless you go straight to the beach after a good night out, speaking by experience 😉

The Steam Father, Larnaca

Tony Dynamou - 18th December 2017 0

... boasting 44 Vape Flavours, 14 that are truly unique, carefully created by Christos, blended internationally and different to say the least ... Flavours like Pearl Delight, that tastes like Blackcurrant Cheesecake or Monkey Style which more than hints to Bananas & Cream ... or Summer Sensations, a blend of Sweet Watermelon & Strawberries, or the Naughty Forest which reminded me of Forest Fruits & Yoghurt or my fav the 'Lemmy', a blend of Jack Daniels, Coke & Rum, brilliant, !!!

Limassol

Our Capital on the Coast also known as Lemessos it’s by far the largest coastal resort in Cyprus, and was the first town to grow after the Turkish invasion in 1974. Many of Famagusta’s residents moved…

Busses

admin - 7th September 2016 0

Improvements in bus services have been exemplary in the past decade ... from inner city to city to city !!!

Choco King, Luxury Chocolate Manufacturing & Trading, Deryneia

Tony Dynamou - 29th November 2021 0

I was delighted to be invited to find out more about this exceptional, luxury chocolate manufacturing company. Established in 1990 by Constantinos' father Stavros. Their story is almost as lovely as their chocolate tastes ... omg! Constantinos made me very welcome as we talked about how it all started ...

Camel Park, Mazotos, Larnaca

Tony Dynamou - 15th January 2023 0

It's a lovely idea for a truly different day out. What I really like about The Camel Park is it’s diversity, as there’s always something new to see every time you go. With such a lot of animals, there’s often a few babies around including iccle Camels, ranging from as little as 2 weeks old … they are just delightful! You can choose to stroll around at your leisure or there’s guides who offer information in several languages.

Nicosia

The Capital is Always worth a visit! Lefkosia or Nicosia, to us die hard’s, lies at the centre of the island, in the Mesaoria Plain, flanked by the northern range of mountains. A charming city…

Scarabeo Bar, Nicosia

Tony Dynamou - 6th January 2018 0

As one of their clientele once said ''Scarabeo is a home to the artists, the musicians, the fans, the misfits, the creative ones, the alcoholics, the sane and insane ones" ... sounds like a good night to me !

Do You Believe in Mermaids ?

Tony Dynamou - 6th June 2016 0

This is a magical fairy tale of Mermaids, Pirates and lost treasures ...

Kolios Butchery, Delicatessen & Winery, Paphos

Tony Dynamou - 17th May 2024 0

As Leonidas warmly shared during our conversation, "We have evolved beyond a typical butcher shop. It's now a modern-day 3-in-1 marvel, offering a traditional butchery with a twist, an extensive delicatessen, and an exquisite selection of fine wines that we produce." ...

Paphos

Sunset Boulevard Also known as Pafos, it’s quite a way up the west coast, where the sun turns into a big red doorknob as it sets into the Med … it’s the birthplace of the…

Fat Mama’s Italian American Diner, Kato Paphos

Tony Dynamou - 13th September 2019 0

Fat Mama’s is one of those special places that’s so good you’ll just keep going back, so naturally after 25 years it gets really busy every night with bookings not accepted after 7 pm, but don’t worry, if you have to wait to be seated you can enjoy a drink from a well-stocked bar. Mixing one of my favourite Mojitos or try one of their intoxicating cocktails, and at 2 for the price of 1 during happy hours!

Jenny’s Hair Shop & Extension Salon, Larnaca

Tony Dynamou - 31st March 2023 0

I’ve often watched Jenny completely change people in a few minutes … it is quite amazing what a good quality hair piece can do to make you look like someone new or maybe you just want to surprise someone, either way a visit here will suffice … oh and btw Jenny has a few selected summer clothing designs and sandals and not many people know this; she contributes considerable amounts of her profits to Children in Need in African ... an amazing woman !!!

Eating Out

Tony Dynamou - 23rd February 2023 0

For me, the aroma of BBQ over real charcoals is just Cyprus, the Mediterranean and traditional meze on its way, there's nothing quite like it !

Paralimni & Kapparis

Next to the Lake Paralimni is best described as Ayia Napa and Protaras’ ‘live in’ village, Para-limni means, next to the lake! And we still have, arguably, our winter fill as evidence, enough to confuse…

Savvas Pottery, Paphos

Tony Dynamou - 8th August 2016 0

If you are looking for real, quality pottery by professional and traditional artists this place is definitely worth a visit !

ArtFest 2019, Protaras

Tony Dynamou - 5th May 2019 0

As I see things from an alternative angle I was really looking forward to attending the ArtFest 2019 at Starlight Gardens in Protaras ... The idea was to allow local and international artist who see things their way and create for your pleasure their alternative art ... It was a great success ...

To’ Nissiotiko Taverna, Protaras

Tony Dynamou - 14th August 2024 0

Serving traditional Cypriot cuisine, or as Artemaki calls it, ''pure horthiaytiko'' or 'village-style' in English. The food is always cooked fresh, mostly over real charcoal, so it'll take at least 20 minutes to be served, but let me just say; it's worth every minute! and don't worry the pitta bread, dips and salads will wet your apatite. Whilst Arimaki's mum cooks traditional Cypriot dishes for your delight!

Polis & Latchi

Cyprus’ little secret In the hub of Chrysochou bay, centrally situated between two stunning harbours, Latchi and Pomos, with the Paphos forest to the east and the Akamas peninsula to the west, lays this small…

Craig David Back in Napa @ BCL

Tony Dynamou - 25th July 2019 0

... probably the most talked about 'return to music' for decades, Craig David has sold over 2 million singles with 117 million streams in the past year alone, Craig also won the Best Male Artist at the MOBO Awards in 2016 and Best Collaboration for 'I Know You' with Bastille for at the 2018 NME Awards ...

Aristides Craft Distilling, Tseri, Nicosia

Tony Dynamou - 18th March 2022 0

My initial interest was to find out about their gins, Aris explained, "it's what originally brought us back to Cyprus, 'to create a quality craft gin'. Our initial inspiration was the aroma of The Troodos Mountains after a long dry summer when it first rains and we wanted to capture exactly that and put it in a bottle and we called it Aoratas Dry Gin which in fact last year won a gold medal.

Ocean Aquarium Park, Protaras

Tony Dynamou - 19th April 2019 0

George showed me around the grounds explaining; "You can learn so much about marine life here, and rivers and swamps and the Penguins, the first ever in the Mediterranean region, naturally kept comfortable in the appropriate climate controlled environment". Just watching one of their videos I amazingly learned that all Gold Fish don't have stomachs, so they have to keep eating, which means you should feed them small amounts 5 times a day, probably why I was never successful keeping one, but now I know!

Protaras & Pernera

Boasting one of the finest beaches in the world ! Protaras is one of my favourite towns, as it was back in 1991 I came here to work for my first full season and boy…

PowerJet Cleaning & PowerJet Waste Services, Cyprus

Tony Dynamou - 29th June 2022 0

What I like most about this company is the professional set up and their highest quality equipment. Andreas explained, "primarily, for drain clearance we don't use hazardous toxic chemicals, we use normal water and very powerful jetting systems, with pressures from 100 to 350 bar and at temperatures up to 100°C i.e. steam, and so, our system is totally biological"

Senso Cafe Bar, Paralimni

Tony Dynamou - 21st February 2020 0

This is without doubt, one of my fav places to sit and watch the world go by ...

Q Cocktail Bar, Protaras

Tony Dynamou - 20th May 2022 0

Centre Stage At the back and centre stage a purpose built raised stage with moving head stage lighting for all the live music nights … The evenings starting around 9'ish with a little acoustic guitar by Panayiotis one of Lithos Rock Band's line-up who all join him on the stage at around 10 pm almost every night.

Greek Independence Day is 25th March

Casa Mespilea Bistro & Guest House, Old Town, Paphos

Snow White and a little Goblin !!!

August 2017

Escape Night Club, Pyla, Larnaca

Tony Dynamou - 11th December 2024 0

Most nights, you'll find up to 12 gorgeous dancers and hostesses, from all over Europe, to keep you company if you buy them a drink ... The girls are always in the mood to party, they're just waiting for a good reason, and the more you party, the more they do and the girls love to dance, so they're happy to dance on the poles, tease with a lap dance, give you a wicked Fire show, or maybe a little private dance?

Syno Flame Grill, Larnaca

Tony Dynamou - 3rd December 2024 0

So, I asked George to tell me about his choice of beef ... and quite amazingly he told me; "We were the first to bring the burger scene to Larnaca. We mated Black Angus steers with our cows at several local farms, which gave birth to more Angus beef and we're now in our 16th generation and naturally, we get our beef fresh from our associated local farms ... ah ha! that's why my burger tasted so good!

December 2024

Tony Dynamou - 1st December 2024 0

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!
