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…

Car & Bike Hire

admin - 2nd March 2016 0

Where To Stay

admin - 1st March 2016 0

Over the past 30 years I have had the pleasure to work with many hotels and hotel apartments, private rental short term accommodations. Some provide just that little bit more than others

Rio’s Piri Piri Chicken, Paralimni

Tony Dynamou - 7th May 2023 0

Evi continued; "It all started back in 1912, when Wilbur Scoville charted the comparative heat of different chillis. The greater the number of Scouville units the hotter the chilli, but don't worry, we have 8 Different Flavours of Piri Piri sauces, from Zesty Lemon and Herb to Extreme with everything in between!" Piri Piri of course means Pepper Pepper, my favourites are the Hot & Spicy and the Jerk Chicken, OMG!

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…

Aliathon Gallery, Kato Paphos

Tony Dynamou - 24th February 2017 0

Cyprus has that mysterious Ora that attracts artists like no other ...

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.

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…

Cyprus Rocks Festival 2024, Protaras … 3rd ’til 8th October

Tony Dynamou - 2nd September 2024 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 ...

Koursaros Music Bar, Protaras

Tony Dynamou - 30th September 2024 0

I love the tall beer barrel tables and stools! Inside, it's all wood, comfy seating, chandeliers, a cool stage, wicked lighting, music posters, and rock memorabilia all over the place creating a really cozy atmosphere ... oh, and a well cool ambience that's made by lots of like-minded, live music, rock, blues and occasionally jazz freaks, of all ages and nationalities ...

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 ...

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…

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!

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.

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.

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…

September 2016

Tony Dynamou - 1st September 2016 0

September is without doubt my fav month ... honest ! ... It's as versatile as ever and a little bit ... More !

Darcy’s Restaurant & Lounge Bar, Pegeia, Paphos

Tony Dynamou - 31st August 2018 0

The place looks so welcoming, a spacious alfresco lounge under vines with comfy sofas and just inside on the covered terrace, tables immaculately set, pristine, polished wine glasses of various sizes ready for a fine selection of wines, inside is lounge, bistro style, clean and shiny, a well stocked bar with stools if you only want wine 😉 and unusually loos on the same floor, so not walking up and down stairs, very cool ! ... Oh and really good cuisine !!!

Kings of Coconuts, Cyprus

Tony Dynamou - 11th August 2020 0

Their Coconuts are full of raw unpasturised fresh coconut juice, and tasty young coconut flesh, packed with electrolytes, containing as much potassium as two bananas and with zero cholesterol, almost no calories, and extremely low in fat, a perfect part of any healthy diet, that will help you build your immune system.

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…

Queen Vic Gastro Pub, Ayia Napa

Tony Dynamou - 16th August 2021 0

This is an awesome gastro pub with an excellent reputation and I highly recommend a visit, oh, and mention What's On and you'll be in for a nice surprise !

Lordos Group of Hotels, Larnaca & Protaras

Tony Dynamou - 14th November 2022 0

I am delighted to introduce you to The Lordos Group of Hotels as I've worked closely with their 3 hotels and indeed the Lordos family since 1993. They are without a doubt one of Cyprus' leading companies and their 3 hotels certainly excel when it comes to location, comfort, and hospitality. Each hotel with its own specific features, each hotel unique in its own way, all ideally situated in perfect locations, pretty much, right on the beach!

Ayia Napa Parties, Ayia Napa

Tony Dynamou - 27th September 2017 0

Not just Parties ... This little gem at the busy end of Nissi Avenue is everything you'll need to enjoy your holiday. It's a family business with a personal service, they'll help you choose the best things to do, when to do them, the best places to see and how to get there, and the best parties to be seen at, and you know, they wanna be on those boat trips and excursions with you and might just be dancing next to you at the parties!

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…

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'' 😉

The International Foundation Centre, Paphos

Tony Dynamou - 28th June 2017 0

... now evidently a team passionately dedicated to helping you learn!

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!!

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…

Football

admin - 2nd March 2016 0

The Lingo ‘How to Talk to Your Dog’

Tony Dynamou - 10th February 2016 0

“you can say anything you want to your dog, and he’ll always look at you as if to say …. My god, that’s brilliant!”

Safira Coffee House, Paralimni

Tony Dynamou - 15th July 2023 0

Hidden Gem I love finding these little places that are a little bit different ... Safira Coffee House is exactly that! ... Nestled on the main road, almost on the zebra crossing from Likio School, Safira stands out as a retreat of comfort and tranquility, for locals and visitors alike. This little hidden gem has quickly gained a reputation for its warm ambiance, exceptional service, and, of course, its delightful selection of coffees and snacks to dine in, takeaway, or get home delivery.

Ocean Aquarium Park, Protaras

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!
