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…

We are very fortunate to have a few of my favourite ever Japanese restaurants in Cyprus ... I think the authenticity is partly down...

Kaliva Luxury Suites get Automated by DJS Professional

Tony Dynamou - 10th November 2021 0

I'd heard that the delightful Kaliva Suites in Ayia Napa are totally automated. The installation by my very good friend and ex-boss Andreas Demetriou. So, as Home Automation is fast becoming very popular in many homes and businesses around the world, I popped into have a chat with Andreas of DJS Professional, Light, Sound & Automation in Paralimni to find out more ...

Lazy Day Cruise on Aphrodite II

Tony Dynamou - 22nd April 2022 0

The Lazy Day Cruise didn’t get its name by accident … it really is a lazy cruise in comparison to one or two other party boats that set sail from the same harbour. The Lazy Day Cruise is more designed for families who want to chill out on the med, much as the cruise caters for all ages and many who go on the party boats also book this trip towards the end of their holidays, because everyone has to chill sometime ...

Slowly but surely we have seen a welcome swing towards modifying accommodations into mini or full on resort styles ... Here's a few to choose...

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!

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.

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…

Choco King, Luxury Chocolate Manufacturing & Trading, Deryneia

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 ...

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

The Nuts of Your Dreams, Old Town Paphos

Tony Dynamou - 31st May 2020 0

The setting is a beautiful environment, the historic, Ibrahims Khan, old market style, alleys in all directions, everywhere you look unique designs, interesting workshops and activities. Architecturally it’s stunning, delectable use of stone, metal, walled gardens and an outdoor theatre area. A natural shopaholics heaven, with exquisite handmade artefacts, mosaics, jewellery, carpentry and tasty delights, oh and The Honey Restaurant … ho hum!

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…

Olives Seafood & Sushi Restaurant, Larnaca

Tony Dynamou - 9th November 2022 0

Coming up to their first anniversary in Cyprus I asked Nicola to tell me about the Menu ... Nicola said; "We sort of split it into three cuisines, Fresh Fish, Fresh Sushi, and Vegan Platters & Snacks ... Our head chef has been with us since day one, his qualifications and previous experience in Cyprus, the very best Sushi eateries, including Sushi La and Wagamama" ... I was suitably impressed!

Beach Cult Live Music Festival 2019, Ayia Napa

Tony Dynamou - 8th June 2019 0

It's the only summer event on the beach in Napa! in its 9th season, this year's gonna be wicked, with a cool line up ... James Hype, Craig David, Snoop Dog, Joel Cory, Ace Hood, Danny T, Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike, Chase & Status, Hannah Wants, French Montana, and Meduza to mention but a few ... let's face it, they've got the biggest names and that means the sickest parties!

Villas

There's obviously to many to mention but here's a few contacts for short or long term rentals and freehold purchase ...

Bacchus Restaurant and Cafe, Kato Paphos

Tony Dynamou - 7th February 2023 0

It's a family-run business, and a more international eatery would be hard to find, with Mediterranean, Greek, Italian and Indian cuisines to add to the traditional Cypriot choices on the menu, Andonis calls it "Multi-Cultural-Fusion" ... I suppose, that says it all!

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 !

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…

Grand Slam Inn, Kapparis

Tony Dynamou - 25th October 2020 0

The Grand Slam is a family run British style boozer, it's even on the corner, on the sunny side of the road, and once known as The Corner Pin, inside it looks busy, with quirky little designs mostly mums doing, I just love the Table Tops they're well cool ... There's music memorabilia all over the place with a professional light and sound system, a well stocked bar, with a lovely front terrace onto Kapparis Avenue ... it's a great stop off for an afternoon drink, good pub grub, and there's something happening here almost every night!

Ham Yam Quad, Buggie & Scooter Rentals, Protaras

Tony Dynamou - 8th July 2023 0

They've got Quads, Buggies, Scooters and Bicycles in two shops. In fact I've known Antonis since he opened in 1993, and he is one of those 'shop on the corner' type guy's who provides an excellent service at very competitive prices and his selection of vehicles is extensive to say the least and he'll even come and pick you up and drop you off after

Pig ‘N’ Whistle Pub & Restaurant, Kapparis

Tony Dynamou - 23rd November 2019 0

It's a pub with British style pub, with an international clientele, an awesome crew, a relaxed ambience, and a great place to eat traditional pub grub with a twist oh, and an awesome place to watch all the live sports ... It's like home from home even if you're on your own! ... What else do you need from a pub? Your favourite tipple, they've probably got it!

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…

Clothing & Apparel

admin - 2nd March 2016 0

The Clothing and Apparel selection in Cyprus is varied to say the least ... of course fashion here is a tad out of date...

Pyrgos Fireworks, Cyprus

Tony Dynamou - 25th February 2020 0

I met up with the owner Nicos Pyrgos for a chat, and it soon became obvious that this guy has exceptional knowledge about fireworks ... after all, his father Marios launched the company back in 1986, laughing, Nicos said, "I've got gunpowder in my veins"! ... ha! my type of guy!

Safari

admin - 2nd March 2016 0

... having said that, many 4 wheel drive adventures will take you to see the real Cyprus, away from the maddening crowds, into the mountains, into the wilderness ...

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…

Ttappis Tavern, Paralimni

Tony Dynamou - 14th May 2023 0

... it's almost inevitable that this place goes from home dining to partying like only the Cypriots know how!

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!

March 2015

Tony Dynamou - 2nd March 2016 0

It's March, my favourite month! ... mainly coz it's spring, you know like a really good British summer 😉 ... I just love this...

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!
