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…

As coffee moves to a higher level in Cyprus, Coffee Lab in Paralimni is leading the way ...

Kamasias Taverna, Paralimni

Tony Dynamou - 12th February 2023 0

... Now, this is where this place excels ... they call them seasonal 'Rain Gifts' because Tony and the family are dedicated to bringing you the freshest and most sought-after wild Cypriot produce, like baby wild Artichokes, Snails, fresh Asparagus, and Tony takes a regular trip to Paphos to find rare wild mushrooms, all part of the norm. Tony often walks 15km to 25km a day to bring you the best selection that night ... needless to say if you like wild Mushrooms omg, this place is an absolute must!

Ayia Thekla Beach Bar & Restaurant, Ayia Napa

Tony Dynamou - 27th June 2018 0

The setting is as good as on the beach, it's a traditional village house with alcoves and arches edging the shaded patio out front, overlooking the beautiful Mediterranean sea. The ambience is relaxed outside and continues inside, with comfy lounge style sofas and 4 huge TV screens to watch all the live sports, there's a pool room with plenty of seating and two lovely open fires to keep your toes warm in the winter.

Camel Park, Mazotos, Larnaca

Tony Dynamou - 15th January 2023 0

It's a lovely idea for a truly different day out. What I really like about The Camel Park is it’s diversity, as there’s always something new to see every time you go. With such a lot of animals, there’s often a few babies around including iccle Camels, ranging from as little as 2 weeks old … they are just delightful! You can choose to stroll around at your leisure or there’s guides who offer information in several languages.

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…

Amathus Ruins, Limassol, Circa.10th Century BC

Tony Dynamou - 6th June 2023 0

One of the most impressive features of the Amathus Ruins is the Temple of Aphrodite, which I believe, was excavated in the 1980s. The temple was a center of worship for the goddess of love and beauty and was believed to have been built in the 6th century BC. The temple was adorned with beautiful sculptures and frescoes, many of which can still be seen today.

Kataklysmos aka The Festival of The Flood

Tony Dynamou - 22nd June 2024 0

Inside Out Minus One, Rock Band, Nicosia

Tony Dynamou - 7th August 2020 0

Yiannis’ Romanian Cuisine, Paphos

Tony Dynamou - 22nd June 2022 0

I really enjoy my job, even more so when I find something a little different and was thrilled when Valentina and Yiannis invited me to meet them at their Traditional Romanian Restaurant in Paphos … They asked me if I'd like to try one of Yiannis' Soups for lunch, and I said "just a little please" and they served me Meat Ball Soup with some warm pitta and green chili peppers on the side … I just have to say; "I wish I hadn't said 'just a little' … it really was delicious!"

Special Needs, Special Service!

Tony Dynamou - 3rd May 2025 0

On one of my afternoon visit's Rob wanted to get into the pool, and to my astonishment, the hotel had that covered too. The lifeguards brought out this amazing winch-type harness, which has a secure borehole specifically poolside. In a few minutes, the winch was set in its place, and they lifted Rob into the harness, which swivels over the water and lowers Rob onto a lilo so he can safely float, keeping his head above water.

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? ...
