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…

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 ...

Antigoni Markou Christofi, Advocate & Legal Consultant, Paralimni

Tony Dynamou - 3rd February 2023 0

I was trying to find out a bit more about the rules and red tape of residents from the UK and third-world countries moving to Cyprus and was highly recommended to meet Antigoni. It was the greatest of pleasures to meet up with Antigoni, who I quickly realised is one of those people who has an extreme passion for her chosen career.

The Cutting House, Protaras

Tony Dynamou - 22nd February 2016 0

Helen, originally from North London, where she trained at college and is a fully qualified stylist with over 32 years experience, moving to Cyprus in '92, working in the Hair and Beauty Salon at a Five Star hotel before eventually opening her own salon in 2001 ... 15 years later, and Helen's success is evident and built on a reputation second to none!

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…

Snacks

There are literally dozens of snack bars doing the usual, Ham & Halloumi (local cheese) Rolls or Halloumi & Ham, or Ham & Halloumi...

Savino Rock Bar, Larnaca

Tony Dynamou - 4th December 2021 0

Still one of the oldest, most classic and much loved pubs in Larnaca, after over 30 years ... the décor, all wood, prints and rock memorabilia everywhere, the courtyard out back all traditional and delightful. It's Cypriot, Rock hospitality, all the way! with music ranging from Classic Rock to Jazz and Rhythm & Blues, and even occasionally, a little Reggae ... I just love this pub!

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…

Casa Mespilea Bistro & Guest House, Old Town, Paphos

Tony Dynamou - 27th June 2020 0

... we have created a menu, traditional but not, it’s totally unique, partly influenced by her yiayia, a fusion of Greek, Cypriot and Spanish cuisine, but she assured me none of the dishes you’ll find anywhere else, because they are the creation of their imagination, using always fresh produce, everything is cooked to order, nothing is prepared and always around her flavours and essences of Cyprus, that she uses to compliment every dish … oh, and if she had her way, she would change the menu every day” … So do look out for their daily specials and make sure you leave room for dessert!

Beachcomber Pub & Diner, Limassol

Tony Dynamou - 22nd February 2017 0

truly international, there's bound to be something you'll like ...

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.

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…

19th Paradise Jazz Festival, Pomos 17th & 18th August 2018

Tony Dynamou - 9th August 2018 0

To some it must have seemed a crazy idea to invite renowned jazz artists from England to a border area of Cyprus and so far up the West Coast, the Paradise Jazz Festival took off immediately and was loved by the audience from the very beginning, first by the British ex pats of the area, and then then by the musicians from Cyprus, Netherlands, Bulgaria, Greece, Israel, oh and then by all island's nationalities, giving it a truly international image!

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 !

Paralimni Window Cleaning

Tony Dynamou - 9th September 2019 0

... so he decided to clean windows, but he's a handy man to know because he does a lot more than just clean windows ... he also cleans mirrors, shutters, blinds, glass balconies, fly and mozzie screens, track runners and lots more ...

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…

Here we highlight the bars, cafes, and restaurants that have nothing between them and the sea ... some are so close you can paddle as you nibble ...

What am I eating?

Tony Dynamou - 15th August 2023 0

Naturally I'm a little bias, but cooking the Cypriot way is just unbeatable!

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…

Short Circuit Online, Hybrid Internet Provider, Ayia Napa

Tony Dynamou - 22nd July 2023 0

Short Circuit have moved with the times, now providing quality Internet Access and Security Systems not only to many hotels and their guests but specifically to people without a land line, long or short term visitors, without a contract, so as long as you pay you'll stay connected, and arguably they provide the best and most cost effective internet coverage from the East Coast all the way past Larnaca, and with over 6,000 happy, active customers, and they're growing daily!

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 ...

Bootleggers Bottle Shop & Cava, Pernera, Protaras

Tony Dynamou - 31st October 2023 0

This place is a little warehouse of goodies, wines, spirits, beers, ciders, soft drinks, energy drinks, and party nibbles all at crazy discounted prices boasting the best offers you'll find anywhere. There's also a selection of alternative souvenirs like speciality spirits and after dinner accompaniments .. plus you can pay in your currency with a no commission money exchange service ...

Cartridge World, Cyprus

Tony Dynamou - 5th February 2023 0

I have been more than happy with their service for 20 years! And not just to buy their own brand Ink and Toner Refills, but good quality, reliable brand name Printers, Laptops, Phones, Tablets, Computers, Peripherals, Headphones, Sat Nav, and even General Office Supplies, like Paper, Cello tape, Paper clips, and The latest 3D Printing, and much, much more ...

Pyrgos Fireworks, Cyprus

Tony Dynamou - 25th February 2020 0

I met up with the owner Nicos Pyrgos for a chat, and it soon became obvious that this guy has exceptional knowledge about fireworks ... after all, his father Marios launched the company back in 1986, laughing, Nicos said, "I've got gunpowder in my veins"! ... ha! my type of guy!

Archaeological Sites

admin - 2nd March 2016 0

Cyprus' history dates back 12,600 years ... I believe it's the mountainous region of the Lost City of Atlantis ... much as that can't be...

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…

Nai Coffee, Café & Events, Dherynia

Tony Dynamou - 3rd December 2023 0

I recently accidentally discovered 'Nai Coffee' on the road from Dherynia to Sotira. The building is the stunning, old 'Kalograia Taverna', the barn-style staggered apex roof, striking and unusual. It was the Illy Coffee sign that initially grabbed my attention, and I fancied a coffee, so my curiosity getting the better of me, I just had to pop in ...

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.

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!
