Public Holiday’s in Cyprus 2025

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…

First Nicole measured the distance exactly, then again, "measure twice, cut once" she whispered, a lady of my heart lol ... she carefully twisted the bottle putting a score mark around the base, just where we wanted it. Then poured boiling hot water from the kettle onto the score on the bottle, and immediately put the bottle under cold running water to provide the stress shock to the glass and 'Ping' the bottoms dropped off ... it looked easy!

Sharen Taylor Mosaics & Conservation, Paphos

Tony Dynamou - 17th January 2024 0

Sharen explained; "Each unique piece brings joy and inspiration to our world, designing our bespoke mosaics, large or small, with attention to detail and they are built to withstand our extreme climatic conditions, bringing permanent colour, texture and strength." Sharen continued; my inspiration comes from each individual location, and it's surroundings, and Sharen obviously loves to work in the reproduction of ancient images, uniquely designing her mosaics and art pieces, and a visit to her workshop is an absolute must!

Tony Dynamou - 29th November 2021 0

I was delighted to be invited to find out more about this exceptional, luxury chocolate manufacturing company. Established in 1990 by Constantinos' father Stavros. Their story is almost as lovely as their chocolate tastes ... omg! Constantinos made me very welcome as we talked about how it all started ...

Savino Live, Larnaca

Tony Dynamou - 5th December 2021 0

Pretty much every Friday and definitely every Saturday, and the day before a bank holiday they host live Rock gigs with big name international bands and the very best local Greek and English Rock Bands ... they even squeeze in a little Rhythm and Blues, Indie, Folk, and the occasional Reggae and Disco night too ... I've even caught them doing The Candy up on stage ... adding a bit of live comedy these days ... You'll love it here !

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.

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 ...

Octopus Craft Beer by Octo Microbrewery, Sotira

Tony Dynamou - 1st April 2022 0

I asked why their beers are so good; Taras explained, "The biggest difference of Craft Beer is it has more flavour and taste, mainly because it's not filtered or pasteurised, making it a much richer flavour. Craft Beer is like a finger print because we never brew our beer in a bad mood, that's how we are here at Octo and we hope you are just like us" …

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…

CyproNatura, Ayia Napa

Tony Dynamou - 10th July 2017 0

Getting into the natural food thing isn't as hard as you think ! Replacing things like crisps and biscuits, with really fresh nuts and totally fresh, dried, and sugarless fruits is easy, tbh, knowing you're not putting rubbish inside you is a fulfilling emotion and actually I discovered ages ago the tastes are just awesome !

Beaches

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

Karlina Restaurant Cafe Bar, Paphos

Tony Dynamou - 16th July 2022 0

Times have changed as far as the fascia goes, but for the past 28 years, the service is still exemplary and the cuisine is as traditional as it gets. It's a family-run restaurant, from Luigi's warm welcome to the homemade Cypriot specialties using mum's secret recipes and the lovely touch of complimentary seasonal fruit, grown in dad's orchard, that they'll bring to your table for afters.

Paphos

Harvest Status Cafe Wine Bar & Cava Robustos, Paralimni

Tony Dynamou - 7th December 2019 0

This impeccable Wine Bar & Cafe, serves the finer things in life, just about the best coffee you'll taste anywhere in Cyprus. Complementing your selection of over 300 different quality wines with signature Fruit, Meat or Cheese Platters, introducing you to imported cheeses from all over the world, maybe with a little marmalade, hmm, trust me, you won't find this selection anywhere else, oh, and freshly baked bread and breadsticks and btw, you really must try the new Charguterie, French-based Mixed Meat Platters plus of course everyone's favourite, the freshly made Sushi and some spontaneous finger foods encompassing the trend towards the healthy living options.

The Village Inn, Kissonerga, Paphos

Tony Dynamou - 23rd July 2018 0

The Village Inn is traditionally British, from the beer garden out back to the golf society you're welcome to join, and the pub grub is just awesome !

Ikesios MRI Centre, Paralimni

Tony Dynamou - 14th February 2023 0

I was recently very comforted to find such an extraordinary piece of diagnostic equipment at the Ikesios MRI Centre in the Paralimni area of Ammohostos. This Siemens Magnetom Espree 1.5 T MRI Machine, is the very best in Magnetic Resonance Imaging, is trusted all over the world, and is unique in Cyprus. It's also the 1st Open Bowl MRI in the Paralimni area with the biggest capacity in Cyprus, with a scan length of only 125cm and an internal diameter of 70 cm, allowing about 60% Head Out examinations, and accommodating a person up to 200 kg in weight, which eliminates any claustrophobic feeling.

Paralimni & Kapparis

Tony Dynamou - 23rd December 2024 0

my first impressions when I walked through the door, was wow this looks professional, the quality stands out, the rustic, warehouse feel with high ceilings and cool lighting. A warm welcome from the crew plenty of room, out front about 250 square metres of Wines & Spirits, mixers and soft drinks, out back more than 50 Beers from around the world including Belgium, Germany, Holland, Czech Republic, Spain, Mexico, Japan, Cyprus and of course the UK!

Melissis Dry Cleaning, Laundry & Pressing, Paralimni

Tony Dynamou - 22nd May 2021 0

... Because it's that time of the year when the quilts and blankets come off the bed, heavy curtains are replaced with nets, the winter wardrobe switches places with the summer one and it's time to look good and enjoy our summer ...

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

Ed’s Note July 2025

Tony Dynamou - 1st July 2025 0

I love July, and you all know it's really my favourite month, partly coz it’s my birthday on the 27th and that means I’ve made it another year, and I’ll probably be throwing a party! The main reason, of course, is it’s peak season, with temperatures in the shade in the high ’30s and it’s getting hotter through 'til August … 'bring it on', I say, we love it hot, that’s why we live here … Mmm, Don’t you just love Cyprus? ...

Tony Dynamou - 30th June 2025 0

Topping the tan is easy in July coz Its goiing to be up there around the 38°C mark and thats in the shade, so it'll be well over 40°C in direct sun so please take care, sit in the shade for a bit and use a good sun protection and after sun protection is just as important ....

Tony Dynamou - 7th June 2025 0

I love it when I find 'something out of the ordinary', slightly off the beaten track, owned by a guy who just wants to do what he loves with a passion. Savvinos is dedicated about absolutely anything to do with Skatsa and 'Skateboarding'in Larnaca. I've known him from the old indoor skate park days.
