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…

Immortals Sports Bar, Protaras

Tony Dynamou - 22nd March 2016 0

Just up on the top road in Protaras is this awesome sports bar ... 3 full size snooker tables and 3 pool tables, 2...

Cyherbia Botanical Park & Labyrinth, Avgorou

Tony Dynamou - 4th November 2022 0

It's amazing how many people still didn't know this place exists ... it's situated in the village of Avgorou, and includes beautifully landscaped herb gardens, the woodland area created in the shape of Cyprus, scattered with the endemic trees and shrubs of Cyprus, a Lavender Labyrinth, and it boasts the first and only hedge maze on the island, all 2000 sq.m. of it ...

Big ‘C’ Supermarket & Bottle Shop, Pernera, Protaras

Tony Dynamou - 6th September 2019 0

There's too much to mention, but when it comes to variety the experience shines through, as 'Costi' knows exactly what you'll need, might need, and hope you don't need, so you'll find everything you'll expect from a good corner shop and lots more ... and even better all at locals prices !!!

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…

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"!

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!

Hokkaido Japanese Restaurant, Ayia Napa

Tony Dynamou - 17th August 2022 0

Top Teppanyaki Chefs from Japan and Asia create an electric atmosphere, entertaining you while conjuring up some of the finest cuisine, cooked fresh to order, and live, right in front of you, so it's a perfect choice for your birthday party, wedding celebration, or any special event, and it's a popular choice for stag or hen nights ... and, whatever you do, don't forget your camera!

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…

DJ Alexandros ‘B

Tony Dynamou - 9th February 2014 0

Born in Athens, 35 year old Alexandros started DJ'ing when he was 15, he couldn't help it he says "my passion is music, I love to see people dancing, I want to see them smile and the happiness on their faces" ... In the early day's he explained "I just played in a mini studio I set up at home, playing at a few parties, pubs, coffee shops in the city". He said, "I haven't played any big clubs coz I haven't really tried" ... reiterating "I'm not really into it for money, I just want to find the mixes".

Cafes

Sitting in Cafes chatting with your mates is a way of life in Cyprus, but as we joined Europe we noticed a huge swing...

Property

admin - 1st March 2016 0

Firstly, before you buy, I would suggest you rent a place for a year to give you time to make the right decisions. The property boom in the early 2000’s has eased off, to say the least and costs have levelled, but vary from town to town and location …

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…

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!

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!!

Bites 7060, Pizza & Vegan Pizza, Livadia

Tony Dynamou - 17th December 2021 0

Vangelis said he had extensive training in Naples, not at collage but at an academy at a traditional pizzeria, with top pizza chefs. The rewards; pizzas as authentic as you can get this side of Italy, the dough, 4 simple ingredients, hand made, but fermented for 48 Hours before use, a Neapolitan influence, which enhances the flavour, then topped with your favourite toppings and baked to perfection in a traditional stone fired revolving oven ... the result a thin base with a light fluffy crust ... I have to say they're delicious!

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…

Ocean Aquarium Park, Protaras

Tony Dynamou - 19th April 2019 0

George showed me around the grounds explaining; "You can learn so much about marine life here, and rivers and swamps and the Penguins, the first ever in the Mediterranean region, naturally kept comfortable in the appropriate climate controlled environment". Just watching one of their videos I amazingly learned that all Gold Fish don't have stomachs, so they have to keep eating, which means you should feed them small amounts 5 times a day, probably why I was never successful keeping one, but now I know!

This is where I put stuff that I think deserves to be here 😉

Taxis & Limousines

admin - 1st March 2016 0

In true Cypriot style, all the taxi drivers, most strangely enough called George, with a moustache and a Mercedes, seem to think for some...

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…

Pirates Inn, Ayia Napa

Tony Dynamou - 22nd December 2016 0

The bar is decked out like a big ship with gallies, canons and cubby holes ... decking everywhere . there's lots of dark wood, poles, ropes, podiims, bars, chains, pirate hats and guns and craazzzy pirates !

Beaches

admin - 2nd March 2016 0

... with crystal clear, calm and very safe waters ... at Konnos, at full moon, you can stand chest deep and see your toes ... cool huh ?

October 2016

Tony Dynamou - 30th September 2016 0

October is the start of Autumn ... or is it ?

Haris Bar & Tavern, Paphos

Tony Dynamou - 19th April 2024 0

Haris bar looks the part as you arrive, a cool low modern building, even cooler signage, its comfortable, with spacious inside and outside seating on the covered beer gardens style patios, and out back, a lawn surrounded by sun terraces with full size family pool in the middle for their clients kids to play in free ... oh and an awesome British chef creating a really good Mediterranean menu !

DeJaVu aka Bill & Ems Band, Protaras

Tony Dynamou - 26th March 2023 0

I was delighted to be invited to catch Bill and Ems, aka Dejavu, playing live at Lithos Bar & Grill in Larnaca. On that night they were joined by Andreas, their drummer, and as a trio, they go by the name 'Strings Attached' I really loved this gig so much, especially their covers of Fever, and Hotel California, so I grabbed the chance to ask Bill if we could get together for a chat.

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…

April 2024

Tony Dynamou - 1st April 2024 0

Talking about beaches, Ayia Napa and Protaras on the east coast, boast 2 of the Best Beaches in Europe and tbh, we're blessed with the nicest sea I’ve ever had the pleasure to swim in, in the world ... Add stuff like; Licensing hours currently ‘til 2.30 am, and then, of course, our night clubs will take you through to sunrise, not too good for the tan unless you go straight to the beach after a good night out, speaking by experience 😉

Little Panda Chinese Restaurant & Sushi Bar, Ayia Napa

Tony Dynamou - 24th October 2023 0

With over 40 years experience in catering, it shows through, in the way Spiros has created his menus, he explained; "it’s my hobby to find new authentic recipes on the net, then I cook them, taste them, and I invite my chefs to taste, and if we all agree, the dish becomes a 'Special of the Day', until eventually it gets added to one of our menus!" … brilliant!

Cyherbia Botanical Park & Labyrinth, Avgorou

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!
