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…

Jenny’s Hair Shop & Extension Salon, Larnaca

Tony Dynamou - 31st March 2023 0

I’ve often watched Jenny completely change people in a few minutes … it is quite amazing what a good quality hair piece can do to make you look like someone new or maybe you just want to surprise someone, either way a visit here will suffice … oh and btw Jenny has a few selected summer clothing designs and sandals and not many people know this; she contributes considerable amounts of her profits to Children in Need in African ... an amazing woman !!!

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!

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 of course fashion here is a tad out of date...

Garden Kamara House, Kato Drys, Larnaca

Tony Dynamou - 3rd March 2020 0

As I arrived, my first impressions were it looked quite 'normal', a fairly plain frontage, edged in gorgeous natural stone walls, wonderful wooden shutters, but through the big antique wooden front doors and into the lounge and you're in another world ... making it obvious why its a favourite for wedding planners ...

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…

Cyherbia Botanical Park & Labyrinth, Avgorou

Tony Dynamou - 4th November 2022 0

It's amazing how many people still didn't know this place exists ... it's situated in the village of Avgorou, and includes beautifully landscaped herb gardens, the woodland area created in the shape of Cyprus, scattered with the endemic trees and shrubs of Cyprus, a Lavender Labyrinth, and it boasts the first and only hedge maze on the island, all 2000 sq.m. of it ...

Sonny’s Restaurant, Paphos

Tony Dynamou - 2nd December 2023 0

Coming outta Shepherds Bush in London, Chris with over 30 years experience and catering in his blood, followed his father's footsteps and in 2012 he finally sealed the deal to buy the old Banana Cabaret Bar in Kissonerga, better known for its sauciness than its sauces 😉 He named it 'Sonny's, after his son, so I suppose it was inevitable Sonny would join his dad sooner or later, together they make an unbeatable team! ... And tbh, you'll probably need to book to make sure you find a table!

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…

‘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!"

A Christmas Storing ?

Tony Dynamou - 11th November 2017 0

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?

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…

Only Fools & Horses Pub, Pernera

Tony Dynamou - 13th August 2018 0

... we had to go with the times and old TV programs got dropped and we started a little entertainment and the pub matured, signs and blackboards every where and pretty much the same crowd would come in, a mix of young guests and the more mature lot who still remember the show ... and their popularity grew even more when the snack menu changed into a real pub grub menu ...

Y2K Boutique, Ayia Napa

Tony Dynamou - 28th October 2021 0

Emily has an obvious passion for fashion, much as it was more of a hobby in her early days, somehow it's just evolved, you know, to some people being able to select the right items, designs and colours, comes naturally, but of course matching them together is the art of a stylist ... her selection, wonderful combinations, original designer wear, a touch above the rest, in quality and value and here you'll find fully trained staff with excellent styling abilities!

Lorraine Hall Photo & Video, Cyprus Wedding Photography

Tony Dynamou - 10th February 2016 0

Healthy Life Bio Stores, Paralimni & Ayia Napa

Tony Dynamou - 11th January 2024 0

Blind Taste, Drinks Wholesale & Retail, Paralimni

Tony Dynamou - 23rd December 2024 0

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!

Napa Plaza Boutique Hotel, Ayia Napa

Tony Dynamou - 9th April 2024 0

I've worked closely with this multi-award winning Four Star hotel for over 30 years, and the swing towards an 'Adults Only' concept really distinguishes this hotel from the others, underlined by a chic, stylish, unique, communicative, relaxed, and enjoyable environment. It's a haven for travellers seeking a unique blend of modern comfort, personalized service, and an intimate ambience.

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 - 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.
