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…

Beach Side

admin - 2nd March 2016 0

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 ...

Kennedy Pub and Restaurant, Kapparis

Tony Dynamou - 7th November 2020 0

This is one of those places that just gives you a warm family, home from home feeling in a relaxed ambience, the best pub grub and the more than occasional parrrrrty!

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

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…

Nicos Nicolaides Opticians, Larnaca,

Tony Dynamou - 26th June 2017 0

... and his obvious knowledge about Optics stands out a mile !

CannaNapa, Cannabis Store, Ayia Napa & Limassol

Tony Dynamou - 1st August 2023 0

Cannabidiol has no psychoactive properties in the body, in simple words you don't 'get wrecked'. It helps contribute to the overall well-being of the body and reduces body pains and muscle spasms. It is an effective anti-inflammatory and helps with diseases such as in my case cancer, but also psoriasis, epilepsy, depression, anxiety, loss of appetite, and many, many more. It also helps reduces stress, stops nausea and vomiting, and is antioxidant and neuroprotective ... It's worth opening your mind to natural remedies and CBD is just amazing!

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!

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!!!

CannaNapa, Cannabis Store, Ayia Napa & Limassol

Tony Dynamou - 1st August 2023 0

Dhekelia Golf Club, Larnaca

Tony Dynamou - 16th April 2020 0

The course is well managed, self-funded and very well maintained, and tbh, suits mid to high handicap players ... originally carved out by Major Franks RE and his engineers back in 1964 ... It's 18 holes, split by a gated road, 11 holes one side and 7 the other, with artificial grass greens ... totaling 6,500 yards, there's 4 x Par 3's 12 x Par 4's and 2 x Par 5's ... and a course total of Par 70 ... with the course record an excellent 66 by ex-pro Tony Lassia

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…

Shopping in Ledra Street, Nicosia

Tony Dynamou - 19th November 2017 0

It's been awhile since I strolled around this boulevard of shoe shops, bag shops, souvenirs galore, Jewellers, leather shops and more shoe shops, whilst down cobbled alleys you'll find quaint cafes and traditional restaurants and kebab taverns and a few Indie boutiques and loads of international labels ...

Color Glo, Restoration & Repair, Limassol

Tony Dynamou - 6th December 2023 0

... et a quote to restore my leather sofa So, whether you have a car, yacht, boat, sofa, or even a leather jacket, handbag, a pair of shoes with fat or grease stains, fading, soiling, scratches, tears, or just normal wear and tear, their team will fix it. Minor tears can be repaired and the item restored to look brand new or they can even change its colour, in fact; that's their speciality.

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'' 😉

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…

Dhekelia Golf Club, Larnaca

Tony Dynamou - 16th April 2020 0

Homers Diamonds Salon, Paphos

Tony Dynamou - 19th March 2018 0

What makes this jewellers so special is the attention to detail in the personal service they offer, everything from a cup of coffee to personally delivering your valuable selection anywhere in Europe ... or arranging for a chauffeur service from and back to your hotel.

Paphos Aphrodite Waterpark, Kato Paphos

Tony Dynamou - 4th April 2024 0

Let's start by saying this excellent multi-award-winning Waterpark was voted the No: 1 Waterpark in Cyprus, No.3 in Europe and No.5 in the world by TripAdvisor and tbh, they deserve every accolade they get … so, expect to find nothing but the best here and you're guaranteed a great day out whatever your age …

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…

Alcohol, Smokes & Vape

admin - 2nd March 2016 0

Cyprus has a relaxed attitude towards alcohol and tobacco and it has managed to keep the taxes down on our imports of these products ......

The Famagusta Orchestra @ Paralimni Amphitheater

Tony Dynamou - 29th December 2024 0

On a beautiful summer's evening in June at Paralimni Amphitheater the Famagusta Orchestra Presented the concert 'Cyprus, Paradise on Earth' and invited a special guest to sing about the connection between Famagusta on the South East Coast and Morphou Village on our North West Coast ... Enchanting to say the least ...

It’s all about the Air

Tony Dynamou - 23rd June 2016 0

Something a little different, love to get here for their first concert !

O’Neills Irish Bar & Grill, Kato Paphos

Tony Dynamou - 16th April 2024 0

This is, without doubt, one of Paphos' finest eateries ... It's a traditional Irish Bar, so authentic all the furniture was crafted in Ireland an imported over, lots of dark warm wood, benches and stools, cottage cabinets and red brick. There's plenty of room inside, a nice covered smoking room and a lovely breezy sun terrace out front with comfortable seating, and the pub grub just a tad above the rest ... it's just like you've walked into a bar in Dublin, only a bit warmer!

They Jazzed it all up in Paradise

Tony Dynamou - 21st August 2018 0

... the stage was ready, shady areas covered in tarpaulin and blossom and seats set in rows for a change making the play area busier ... a few sound checks, early birds arriving for the best seats and as it got darker, Socrates clicked the lights on, then the sound of sax warmed our souls, there was a good number in the crowd, much as it's more of a family reunion, returning for the annual event, many times, everyone as always loving the vibe!

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…

Either Side of Cape Greco Part 1

Tony Dynamou - 13th November 2016 0

Protaras and Ayia Napa lay either side of Cape Greco ... which btw is the most south easterly point on the island !

Lara Bay, Akamas Peninsula

Tony Dynamou - 30th August 2016 0

The Akamas Peninsula is the real Cyprus, it's a protected area and National Park and worth a visit by boat, by 4 wheel drive car, Buggy or Jeep Adventures ... whichever you choose ... Go !!!

Lambros Fish & Chips & Kebab Tavern, Dhekalia, Larnaca

Tony Dynamou - 28th July 2020 0

... These days he's got a crew of 30, most working as part of the family for years, and 'well oiled' is an understatement ... serving the best Cod and Haddock, and a nice bit of Plaice, imported from UK, Norway, Germany and France, deep fried in Lambros' crispy batter or breadcrumbs and served, of course, with chips made with Cyprus potatoes, pure heaven! ... opps, don't forget the mushy peas or maybe gravy, or curry sauce to dip your chips into and a few pickled onions and maybe a wally ... omg, old habits die hard oh, and almost forgot a good cuppa and a slice ... perfect!

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!
