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!

George Mintis Law Firm, Paralimni

Tony Dynamou - 15th September 2021 0

I popped into catch up with George and Eva Mintis who have been vey busy since Covid started, with the increase of interest from people moving to Cyprus from the EU and UK ... the topic of conversation moved towards Brexit and it seems they are even busier now, assisting with the purchase of property, offering legal assistance and property conveyancing and indeed immigration procedures after Brexit. Cyprus of course is still having close ties to Britain. On that note, this law office is highly respected in all these procedures.

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!

‘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!"

Christmas is as good an excuse as any to stock up on a few bottles of wine to accompany all that festive fayre. Perhaps, if you are really lucky a loved one may even treat you to a bottle or case of your favourite tipple as a Christmas gift. So, how do you go about storing it?

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" …

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!

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? ...
