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…

Parko Paliatso Luna Park, Ayia Napa

Tony Dynamou - 28th June 2018 0

I love this place, the sounds of gears and links chinking, smothered by fair ground music, the smell of candy floss and bbq corn on the cob, the multi coloured lights and occasional girly screams. It's really cool idea coz you just buy a Wrist Band depending on your ages and what you want to do!

D. K. Stylianou Garden Centre, Xylotymbou

Tony Dynamou - 16th March 2018 0

... There's literally tens of thousands of plants here, everything you can possibly imagine and more ... carefully selected breeds, making sure they choose an extensive selection that can withstand the Cyprus climate ... many are cultured right here in their grounds in very impressive greenhouses, which in turn helps them to keep their prices so low ...

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" …

Larnaca

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!

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…

‘Chez Fāina – Fayrous’, Mediterranean Brasserie, Larnaca

Tony Dynamou - 27th April 2022 0

Fāinā told me "We originally opened a French restaurant in Makarios Avenue, introducing Lebanese cuisine after 2 years, but when we moved our restaurant here we switched to a Lebanese Restaurant with just a few French dishes as our customers were mostly locals. These days its a more varied international mix as more and more tourists have discovered us. As the years past, we found more and more of our customers were asking us to cook French cuisine for them". She laughed and said "ha! but many restaurants cook Frogs Legs, but none can cook them like ours! And, then she added; just wait til you try our Duck!"

Myths & Mermaids in the Med !

Tony Dynamou - 7th September 2016 0

one of the nicest things I've seen evolve in Cyprus, for years ... Hope the Mermaids decide to stay at The Blue Lagoon ...

19th Paradise Jazz Festival, Pomos 17th & 18th August 2018

Tony Dynamou - 9th August 2018 0

To some it must have seemed a crazy idea to invite renowned jazz artists from England to a border area of Cyprus and so far up the West Coast, the Paradise Jazz Festival took off immediately and was loved by the audience from the very beginning, first by the British ex pats of the area, and then then by the musicians from Cyprus, Netherlands, Bulgaria, Greece, Israel, oh and then by all island's nationalities, giving it a truly international image!

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…

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!

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.

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!

House of Paws, Pet Boutique, Paphos

Tony Dynamou - 13th April 2021 0

Alongside dogs and cats, 'House of Paws' caters to many species of animals: small mammals, aquatic, reptiles and avian. There are cages and tanks available, along with specialist foods, water pumps, supplements, bedding, and feeding dishes ... including; Toy mirrors for parrots, Heat lamps for snakes, and Berry treats for bunny rabbits and even the latest Tag Engraving ... With such a broad range of stock, the boutique is certainly close to a 'Noah’s Ark'!

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…

Liquid Cafe Bar, Ayia Napa

Tony Dynamou - 4th July 2023 0

All Day & Night The bar is open from 9 am to 2 am, so you can pop in for breakfast, brunch, lunch, gorgeous coffees in the afternoon with a naughty slice of cake, maybe a romantic dinner for two, or just evening drinks and a catch up with friends, whichever you choose, this is an awesome place to go. They provide a great menu from their hearty breakfasts to amazing platters or grilled main meals to delicious homemade desserts.

Island Homes Estate Agents, Paralimni

Tony Dynamou - 17th November 2023 0

What I like most about this estate agent is the 'Extremely Transparent' tag they've developed from trust and pricing to the way they'll point out the bad points along with the good ones. I love the extra effort they put into each property, checking on title deeds, and building permits and keeping close ties with local authorities so that they pretty much know everything about each property on their books.

Basics Home & Garden, Paralimni

Tony Dynamou - 23rd February 2023 0

Now in their third shop, its around 1,500 square metres, split into about 10 sections, for the home, pool and garden, with so much on display, you'll probably find what you're looking for and if not, Emilios is so helpful he'll either get it for you or tell you where to find it ... There's too much in here to cover everything, but I'll try ...

Snazz that Glass

Tony Dynamou - 14th May 2018 0

Angela mostly works on glass but she can jazz almost anything up. She also loves making hand painted cards, naturally unique every time. One of her faves, bottles, not just with glitter, which btw is biodegradable . Glass Painting aka Stained Glass . Faux Glass aka Liquid Leading . also the ancient Chinese art of Decoupage, using rice paper, the results are stunning !

Protaras & Pernera

Nai Coffee, Café & Events, Dherynia

Tony Dynamou - 3rd December 2023 0

I recently accidentally discovered 'Nai Coffee' on the road from Dherynia to Sotira. The building is the stunning, old 'Kalograia Taverna', the barn-style staggered apex roof, striking and unusual. It was the Illy Coffee sign that initially grabbed my attention, and I fancied a coffee, so my curiosity getting the better of me, I just had to pop in ...

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? ...

Top Up the Tan

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 ....

LarnaCan Skate & Graffiti Shop, Downtown, Larnaka

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.
