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…

Harry’s Inn, Guest House & Bar, Larnaca

Tony Dynamou - 23rd August 2023 0

Then step out back, the pièce de résistance, an absolutely enchanting courtyard, mature trees, plants, and foliage everywhere, a red trellis adorning a multitude of colours ... It's become a lively meeting spot for locals to unwind after a busy day. The warm glow of twinkling fairy lights adds an enchanting touch to the already picturesque setting.

Craig David Back in Napa @ BCL

Octopus Craft Beer by Octo Microbrewery, Sotira

Tony Dynamou - 1st April 2022 0

I asked why their beers are so good; Taras explained, "The biggest difference of Craft Beer is it has more flavour and taste, mainly because it's not filtered or pasteurised, making it a much richer flavour. Craft Beer is like a finger print because we never brew our beer in a bad mood, that's how we are here at Octo and we hope you are just like us" …

Larnaca

Useful Numbers

Tony Dynamou - 10th February 2016 0

Here's a list that might come in handy ... from experience we think we've covered everything, but if you have any additions please send them in ...

Parko Paliatso Luna Park, Ayia Napa

Tony Dynamou - 28th June 2018 0

I love this place, the sounds of gears and links chinking, smothered by fair ground music, the smell of candy floss and bbq corn on the cob, the multi coloured lights and occasional girly screams. It's really cool idea coz you just buy a Wrist Band depending on your ages and what you want to do!

Sanctuary Fitness Studio, Paralimni

Tony Dynamou - 5th August 2022 0

Ladies; As I walked in, I immediately thought, ‘wow this place looks the business’, spacious, with lots of mirrors, hanging fresh plants to increase the oxygen levels, above a row of impressive water-filled Aqua Eyedrop Punch Bags, and along the back wall, a line of very expensive ‘Stages’ Fitness Bikes of Amsterdam … I soon realised I wasn’t wrong.

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…

The Happy Friar, Limassol

Tony Dynamou - 11th December 2017 0

you really must try The Happy Friar, run by Ian and Jill from good old blighty, serving arguably the best Fish 'n Chips in town, together with Mushy Peas, a slice and a cuppa, and good old service with a smile and great banter, you'll feel like you're back home in your local chippy!

Silver Apartments, Vacation Rentals, Limassol

Tony Dynamou - 11th November 2021 0

They're in the quiet part of town but close by are lots of cafe's, restaurants, wine bars, convenience stores, bakeries, shops, and pharmacies. Just a short walk is the old port, the new port a little further and all those gorgeous old buildings in old town, converted into lovely eateries, wine bars and exclusive designer shops.

Ace Hood’s Gonna be all over the BCL Music Festival

Tony Dynamou - 27th June 2019 0

Beach Cult Live Music Festival is the only Beach Party on the sand in Ayia Napa this year ... It's 10 Events, one each Saturday through the summer season and this week its US Rapper 'Ace Hood' all the way from Florida to Ayia Napa ... and we're gonna be boogying with our toes in the sand, at the only beach festival in Napa this year BCL ... and I can't wait, it's gonna be sick!

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…

Island Homes Estate Agents, Paralimni

Tony Dynamou - 17th November 2023 0

What I like most about this estate agent is the 'Extremely Transparent' tag they've developed from trust and pricing to the way they'll point out the bad points along with the good ones. I love the extra effort they put into each property, checking on title deeds, and building permits and keeping close ties with local authorities so that they pretty much know everything about each property on their books.

Amathus Ruins, Limassol, Circa.10th Century BC

Tony Dynamou - 6th June 2023 0

One of the most impressive features of the Amathus Ruins is the Temple of Aphrodite, which I believe, was excavated in the 1980s. The temple was a center of worship for the goddess of love and beauty and was believed to have been built in the 6th century BC. The temple was adorned with beautiful sculptures and frescoes, many of which can still be seen today.

Capodecina Pasta Bar, Larnaca

Tony Dynamou - 9th April 2022 0

I popped into meet Stelios and Eleni, inside its clean cut, minimalistic, Italian designer style, with wooden flooring, comfortable seating for around 25 people inside and a few tables outside for Al' Fresco dining … Stelios told me "we wanted to make it feel like Home from Home" … I loved the really cool photos chosen by Eleni, especially the one saying "Eat the Spaghetti to Forget your Regretti", brilliant"!

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…

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 !

The Great Escape

Tony Dynamou - 3rd May 2021 0

To be honest if you'd asked me if I'd ever move to Cyprus in 1992 I'd have laughed at you but we stopped looking for excuses and decided to give it a go, moved in '93 and never looked back ... We now live in a country with one of the best climates in the world, long hot summers, short mild winters. I believe it's the safest place with under 2 million population. The Cypriots dote their children and live for the table. We have several of the finest beaches in the world and I'd say the best sea I've ever had the pleasure to swim in ... so don't think about it just do it!!

Glitterbugs Face & Glitter Body Art, Cyprus

Tony Dynamou - 22nd October 2018 0

If you really want to look the part for Halloween Night make sure you give Danielle a call to book your makeup session with her and one thing's for sure, you're gonna look really, really scary!

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…

Protopapas Food Station, Ayia Napa

Tony Dynamou - 15th December 2021 0

In 2019, they improved the showroom so that their clients can visit and they could expand their retail side of the business, at wholesale prices . Here you'll find an extensive selection of Frozen and processed foods and their condiments and much as it's very slightly off the beaten track, let me assure you its worth a visit.

Pet Galaxy by Tasos & Maria Kefalas, Paralimni

Tony Dynamou - 25th November 2023 0

With close ties to Tasos and Maria Kefalas Veterinary Clinic, this is more a pet store than a pet shop as they rarely have pets to sell except for a few fish, birds and rodents ... However, they can give you professional and expert advice and assistance with almost any pet you're looking for ... including dogs, cats, and reptiles and naturally they stock an array of pet foods, toys and accessories for all your pets,

Moonwalk 2019

Tony Dynamou - 16th September 2019 0

... it happens on a full moon, normally in August but this year it was on Saturday 14th September ... The place; The coastal pathway from Pernera to Protaras ... this time stretching all the way from Pola Costa and Blue Spice to Sunrise Beach Hotel, on Fig Tree Bay ... Along the way about 20 Stages set up for their excellent musicians to entertain the crowds who stroll along to the full moon, glistening on calm seas, listening to just about every genre of music from Greek Folk and soft rock, to Reggae and lots of Jazz ... naturally!

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…

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.

Achna Dam and Animal Park, Ammochostos

Tony Dynamou - 8th May 2017 0

Get away from the hustle and bustle at Achna Dam ...

Cyprus Rocks Festival 2019, Protaras … 2nd ’til 9th October

Tony Dynamou - 26th June 2019 0

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 ...

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…

Gyradiko & Grill by Vangelis Takeaway & Delivery, Paralimni

Tony Dynamou - 8th March 2023 0

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 said "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 ... Here's a link to their full Menu

Antonio Floral Design, Paralimni

Tony Dynamou - 12th March 2018 0

Weddings are where Tony excels, everything from just a Bridal Bouquet to Corsages, Button Holes, something for the Bridesmaids, displays for the head table, hanging flowers and artistic spiral floral arrangements, and Tony is more than happy to help however low your budget, tbh, all I can say is give him a few days notice and you're gonna love him !

Golf

admin - 2nd March 2023 0

Getting a round in ... There's four fantastic 18 hole courses on the island, and visitors are often surprised by the standard of the greens here...

Christmas & New Year Traditions in Cyprus

Delicious Mulled Wine Recipe

April 2017

Kings of Coconuts, Cyprus

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!
