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 …

Cyherbia Botanical Park & Labyrinth, Avgorou

Tony Dynamou - 4th November 2022 0

Tony Dynamou - 22nd June 2024 0

one of the most popular customs and arguably the most fun is a joyful procession to the sea, where people sprinkle and often throw water over each other, symbolising the purification of the body as well as the soul ... Hmm, I’m taking a bucket with me this year!

Potamos Fish Restaurant, Liopetri

Tony Dynamou - 20th November 2019 0

It's a picturesque setting, with the restaurant literally on the riverbank, overlooking the fishing shelter, on the estuary of the Liopetri River aka 'Potamos', with stunning views stretching all the way to Cape Greko. Inside, traditional, comfortable seating, fresh fish fridges, old photos on walls, and outside on the terrace with decking, where their two fishing boats are docked, seating for around 150 diners, lined with umbrellas for a little shade, and with the sea just a few metres away. you couldn't find a more perfect setting to eat fish! btw, Haris and Margaritas' grandfather Nicolas opened this delightful beachside location in Potamos 50 years ago, so all the local fishermen could enjoy their days' catch, and btw, they still do.

Ayia Napa Taxis, East Coast

Tony Dynamou - 20th August 2022 0

I recently caught up with Manolis, who I've known for many years and he told me "all our drivers are government licensed and fully insured and go out of their way to make sure you are happy so that you'll use us again and then recommend us to your friends". "Our modern vehicles are kept immaculately clean and are fully air-conditioned for your comfort".

Coffee Cupping at Harvest Status

Tony Dynamou - 12th December 2019 0

George, who is one of the few experts in Cyprus also holds a diploma on coffee, explained his process of selecting and roasting and making speciality fresh ground coffee, and I must say, I now know much more about coffee.

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!

Force Cars, Sales & Garage Services, Paralimni

Tony Dynamou - 30th January 2024 0

So I asked Christos, How did it all start?; He said "Cars have always been in my blood I used to finish school and go home and fix cars ... Like many boys, I wanted to be a Rally Driver, behind the wheel. By the age 16 I'd built my first rally car and started entering races. I asked what was your first car?, amazingly he said, "It was a low-weight 800kg, Ford Escort Mk 1", omg! just one of my favourite cars ever!

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!

October 2024

Assumption Day, 15th August

Rialto Theatre, Limassol

November 2018

Escape Night Club, Pyla, Larnaca

Tony Dynamou - 11th December 2024 0

Most nights, you'll find up to 12 gorgeous dancers and hostesses, from all over Europe, to keep you company if you buy them a drink ... The girls are always in the mood to party, they're just waiting for a good reason, and the more you party, the more they do and the girls love to dance, so they're happy to dance on the poles, tease with a lap dance, give you a wicked Fire show, or maybe a little private dance?

Syno Flame Grill, Larnaca

Tony Dynamou - 3rd December 2024 0

So, I asked George to tell me about his choice of beef ... and quite amazingly he told me; "We were the first to bring the burger scene to Larnaca. We mated Black Angus steers with our cows at several local farms, which gave birth to more Angus beef and we're now in our 16th generation and naturally, we get our beef fresh from our associated local farms ... ah ha! that's why my burger tasted so good!

December 2024

Tony Dynamou - 1st December 2024 0

Now I know it might sound crazy, but by the end of December up in the Troodos Mountains, you can go skiing or even Husky Sledding in the morning and by the afternoon you can be swimming in The Mediterranean Sea and that’s just one of the reasons why I think this place is Paradise!
