Public Holiday’s in Cyprus 2025

Tony Dynamou - 3rd January 2025

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…

Taxis & Limousines

admin - 1st March 2016 0

In true Cypriot style, all the taxi drivers, most strangely enough called George, with a moustache and a Mercedes, seem to think for some...

Got there a tad late but there was a great crowd considering it's early May ... The sounds were pumping out from the DJ Box and it was a really wicked atmosphere and I know where I'll be every Thursday ...

Aphrodite Cruises I, Protaras

Tony Dynamou - 22nd June 2022 0

Captain Andreas takes you along the coast for a 2 Hour 30 minute mini cruise, first as far as you can go to the UN line to see the Ghost City of Famagusta, where you'll learn about the history of what happened and why it's still empty after over 40 years, and it's told in 3 languages, English, Russian and French, brilliant !

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…

BreakOut, Escape Rooms, Ayia Napa

Tony Dynamou - 10th February 2017 0

It's the chance to grab a few friends and do something different for a change ... Two of the games work on a linear basis so you start by looking for and finding the first clue, which leads you to the second clue, and so on until you solve the challenge and escape !!! ... Your team can be from 2 to 6 people of all ages, but the level of questions are meant for say age 13 up ...

Quad Bike Safari & Rentals, Larnaca

Tony Dynamou - 20th October 2021 0

There's nothing quite like a Guided Quad Bike Safari Tour with Mido and his crew ... Whether your looking for a relaxing sunset tour with your family or a little extreme adventure they have a cool selection on offer ... Catering for a minimum of 2, up to 20 people for either part or whole day tours ... check out their Trip Advisor reviews here.

Vrachimis Optical House, Ayia Napa

Tony Dynamou - 13th April 2018 0

What I like about this Opticians is the politeness and attention to detail in the personal service they give to each and every client, offering a free taxi service to their nearest shop and a free delivery service with their compliments! ... and a free repair service is offered to all their clients, from age 3 to 103.

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…

Jenny’s Hair Shop & Extension Salon, Paphos

Tony Dynamou - 18th December 2024 0

I’ve often watched Jenny completely change people in a few minutes. It’s quite amazing what a good quality hairpiece 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! she’s quite an amazing woman!!!

Garden Kamara House, Kato Drys, Larnaca

Tony Dynamou - 3rd March 2020 0

As I arrived, my first impressions were it looked quite 'normal', a fairly plain frontage, edged in gorgeous natural stone walls, wonderful wooden shutters, but through the big antique wooden front doors and into the lounge and you're in another world ... making it obvious why its a favourite for wedding planners ...

Rise Street Art Hotel, Larnaca

Tony Dynamou - 19th August 2023 0

Over a delicious Illy coffee, I asked Charbel how it all started; he said, "In the past, I was an HR Operations Manager in the F&B Sector ... Then we found this place, and between 2016 to 2021, we took Rise of the past, and Re-Branded it ... it was during the pandemic where I got the idea to take it to a new level and we had the time make some improvements, the idea was to 'Elevate your Hotel Experience' ... it's not just about the decoration it's about culture and spirit"

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…

The Trail to Caledonia Waterfalls, Troodos Mountains

Tony Dynamou - 18th August 2022 0

Louise was on the 'You are Here Map' ... and directed us towards the country trail to the waterfalls ... this trail crosses the stream several times, now with wooden bridges to help, as last time I went, there were no bridges so you had to take your shoes off and get your toes wet ...

Diners

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…

The Railway Inn, Chloraka

Tony Dynamou - 7th December 2021 0

This is as traditional an English pub as you'll find in Cyprus ... It's on a corner for starters !!!

Haris Bar & Tavern, Paphos

Tony Dynamou - 19th April 2024 0

Haris bar looks the part as you arrive, a cool low modern building, even cooler signage, its comfortable, with spacious inside and outside seating on the covered beer gardens style patios, and out back, a lawn surrounded by sun terraces with full size family pool in the middle for their clients kids to play in free ... oh and an awesome British chef creating a really good Mediterranean menu !

Cyprus Traditional Wedding Bus, Protaras

Tony Dynamou - 10th April 2017 0

it must be contagious, coz everyone honks back . it's an awesome feeling !!

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…

Cavo Maris Beach Hotel, Protaras

Tony Dynamou - 25th May 2021 0

I've had the pleasure to work closely with this impeccable hotel since 1993. To be honest if you ever stay here, there's a very good chance you'll go back! I think its because it's still a family run hotel, with many of their staff staying long enough to be family and its without a doubt regarded as one of Cyprus's finest hotels. In fact, they were recently awarded a Trip Advisor Travelers' Choice Award for 2021 to add to an ever increasing impressive list of awards over the years.

Asian

admin - 2nd March 2023 0

The Asian style of dining has only really grown over the past twenty years, starting I think with Chloe's Chinese in Paphos and The...

Coral Bay Beach, Peyia, Paphos

Tony Dynamou - 30th April 2016 0

This wide bay is just awesome at sunset and a dream during the day ... Crystal clear, shallow and often calm waters, it's one of the locals favourites ...

Polis & Latchi

With every home should have one basics, here's a few I've shopped at over the years ...

The Lingo Shop ’til You Drop!

Tony Dynamou - 11th December 2017 0

Our regular readers will have noticed that we’ve moved on from the basics, which you can still check out on the web The Lingo - Basics Course and with the huge influx of ex-pats in Cyprus this is one of our Advanced Courses, or as one would say “Ya dou’s ex’ib’nous” or aka ''for those in the know'' 😉

CyproNatura, Ayia Napa

Tony Dynamou - 10th July 2017 0

Getting into the natural food thing isn't as hard as you think ! Replacing things like crisps and biscuits, with really fresh nuts and totally fresh, dried, and sugarless fruits is easy, tbh, knowing you're not putting rubbish inside you is a fulfilling emotion and actually I discovered ages ago the tastes are just awesome !

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…

Larnaca

Tony Dynamou - 8th September 2016 0

Tulum Madness

February 2025

Tony Dynamou - 1st February 2025 0

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.

I Wish it Would Rain Down on Me!

Tony Dynamou - 30th January 2025 0

Andrew Rafferty with Two Sides of Phil Collins, one of the world's best tributes to the legend himself ... This guy looks like Phil, dresses identical and sounds just like him ... and as we hadn't seen rain since May this cover of 'I wish It Would Rain' was quite apt!
