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…

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!

Napa Plaza Boutique Hotel, Ayia Napa

Tony Dynamou - 9th April 2024 0

I've worked closely with this multi-award winning Four Star hotel for over 30 years, and the swing towards an 'Adults Only' concept really distinguishes this hotel from the others, underlined by a chic, stylish, unique, communicative, relaxed, and enjoyable environment. It's a haven for travellers seeking a unique blend of modern comfort, personalized service, and an intimate ambience.

‘Chez Fāina – Fayrous’, Mediterranean Brasserie, Larnaca

Tony Dynamou - 27th April 2022 0

Fāinā told me "We originally opened a French restaurant in Makarios Avenue, introducing Lebanese cuisine after 2 years, but when we moved our restaurant here we switched to a Lebanese Restaurant with just a few French dishes as our customers were mostly locals. These days its a more varied international mix as more and more tourists have discovered us. As the years past, we found more and more of our customers were asking us to cook French cuisine for them". She laughed and said "ha! but many restaurants cook Frogs Legs, but none can cook them like ours! And, then she added; just wait til you try our Duck!"

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…

Shakes & Lattes, Board Gaming Cafe, Larnaca

Tony Dynamou - 4th June 2023 0

It was the name that first caught my attention, brilliant I thought! ... Then, this wonderful idea, equally brilliant!, a Boardgaming Cafe, nestled in the vibrant city of Larnaca, and I just had to get together with David, owner of 'Shakes and Lattes' to find out more ...

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 ...

Cypriot

admin - 2nd March 2016 0

I wouldn't say we produce the best meat by far, but our pork is amazing and anywhere we fall back a bit we import so you'll find that cooking Cypriot style is wonderful and of course I am a little bias, but when it comes to BBQ ... No one does it better !!!

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…

Hugga by the Sea Lounge Bar Restaurant, Livadia, Larnaca

Tony Dynamou - 20th July 2020 0

It's classy, chic and unique, it's spacious, the designer obviously minimalistic with a touch of finesse. Outside there's a large terrace, partly covered, with comfy bench sofas and seats, huge umbrellas, dropping down to lush gardens, with mature trees creating the shade, overlooking the sea, with gorgeous architectural lighting by night ... inside its all stone pillars and wood with classy finishing, stylish lighting, high ceilings, cool touches and condiments to compliment, all creating an ambience that puts them up high in my favourite eaterie rankings.

November 2016

Tony Dynamou - 1st November 2016 0

It's November already ... Where did that year go ? ... It's all here and ... More !!!

Clubbing

Tony Dynamou - 23rd February 2023 0

... the media tried to say Napa' is notorious for booze crazed youths, dropping all their inhibitions, getting plastered, tattooed and having sex or passing out in the doorways, you know, sun sea and sex holidays ... yep ! It's no different from any other top resort in the world but at least in Cyprus, you get guaranteed sun 330 days a year, a few of the best beaches in Europe, one of the best seas in the world and loads of sex on the beach ... I'm referring to the cocktail 😉

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…

Yellow Submarine, Mini Cruise, Ayia Napa

Tony Dynamou - 22nd July 2021 0

This is a wonderful mini boat trip that'll let you take in the wonders of the underwater world of the Med and the awesome caves along a stunning coastline, with Captain Yioryis, who is just soooo passionate about the sea !!!

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'' 😉

Museums

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…

Fly Again Irish Pub & Grill

Tony Dynamou - 21st December 2016 0

The pub looks just like a country pub should it's all beer garden out front, with wooden decking and terraces and huge umbrellas and sails and crimson flowers ...

Lithos Rock Band, Protaras

Tony Dynamou - 19th October 2021 0

Lithos Rock Band have been part of the rock scene in Protaras for over 12 years, these day's they're booked 7 nights a week at the excellent Q Bar in Protaras! What I really like about them is you don't really know what they are going play each night, coz that depends on the audience ... with some 400 to 500 tracks on their play list, they don't even plan what they're going to play next ... one thing's for sure you'll get a professional show from a group who can play so well together and btw, they can all sing too!

Tattooists

admin - 2nd March 2016 0

Many people travel from all over Europe to get tattooed here ... I'm reliably informed, it's much cheaper to get a weeks winter holiday...

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…

Ayia Napa Street Art Festival, Day 8

Tony Dynamou - 14th March 2016 0

Kat’s Prints & Crafts, Xylophagou

Tony Dynamou - 21st February 2018 0

Her art is 'Crafting', and her favourite thing is to create unusual gifts, for birthday presents, weddings, engagements, the birth of a child, an anniversary, valentines, sports presentations, conferences, or something different for your dad coz he's so hard to buy for you know he'll appreciate the thought !!!

Wokiwok Asian & Sushi Bar, Paralimni

Tony Dynamou - 13th December 2022 0

George says ''expect to find an awesome selection of spicy food, coz the boss loves it spicy!'' ... but by 'spicy' he doesn't mean hot hot, he means full of flavours of the East, some mild, some medium and many that give a kick ... Everything is cooked to order, using freshly cut local vegetables and the finest cuts of meat, and seafood and imported ingredients from the East ... Then three top Chefs conjure up an extensive selection of Asian cuisines from, China, Thailand, Korea and Japan and of course Sushi ...

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…

Peter Morton Removals Ltd., Paphos

Tony Dynamou - 20th December 2023 0

Moving house can be a very stressful time, likewise moving your business, car, or that prized possession. Using a professional removals, shipping, and Logistics company will always alleviate those pressures and when it comes to removals, Debbie and Peter Morton personify the word 'professional'. Their reputation is second to none in Cyprus, in fact, to many people, they are the only company they would choose ... currently, that's about 60 families and businesses a week, in fact, we used them when we recently brought over some furniture from Wales, along with 120 Whisky Barrels!

Kendall Events, Cyprus

Tony Dynamou - 5th April 2024 0

Kendall Events specialise in bringing legendary tribute acts from the UK and Europe, internationally renowned artists, groups, and performers, with fame and success on the international circuits. Many are acclaimed multi-award-winning artists who, some people say, "they're as good, if not better than the originals"! … Karen arranges absolutely everything to perfection; from the flights and accommodation for the artists, to the venues and sets up mini festivals and tours around Cyprus so you’ll all get a chance to 'catch the band' wherever you are …

Protaras & Pernera

Carwash Disco, Ayia Napa

Tony Dynamou - 10th May 2023 0

Voted the best disco in town, this place has been smashing it in Napa for 28 years now ... Retro decor and the featured yellow mini DJ box and dancing on the bars with free shots, fire shows and sparklers a nightly event ... it's not to be missed!

The Lingo – Basic Course

Tony Dynamou - 21st October 2017 0

We thought you might appreciate a quick crash course in the basics of the local lingo, which is a sort of slang Greek, aka ‘Horthkatika’ which is basically a village Greek. Most of the locals speak English but they love it if you make an effort to speak their language. I do it in English phonetics so just read in English … Simples! … oh and don’t take it too seriously …

Maistrali Mediterranean Fusion, Beachside Restaurant, Ayia Napa

Tony Dynamou - 26th August 2021 0

I love what they've done to this place from the décor to the menu, to the relaxed ambience and attenuative service, with sea views to die for, by day or by night! I've definitely be put them on one of my top places to eat, drink and relax, even if it's just for a coffee with apple tart or just a cocktail.

April 2015

BreakOut, Escape Rooms, Ayia Napa

How deep can you go ?

May 2019

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!
