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 talked about the perfect setting at the far left of Protaras Bay, Spiros said; "We wanted to create somewhere really special, a relaxing ambiance, comfy seating, cozy, little more private areas, and a really good sound system and very cool lighting ... the location was perfect, replacing a landmark of old with somewhere a little more modern, somewhere to enjoy a refreshing drink, a delicious coffee, and really good cuisine, presented with passion".

The Black Pearl, Pirate Boat Trip, Ayia Napa

Tony Dynamou - 3rd September 2022 0

The Black Pearl's adventure glides you along the rugged coastline towards Cape Greco. Hoisting the colours, Captain Jack Sparrow, Sweet Bonnie and all the other gorgeous pirates, who will get you in the mood, making pirate flags and dressing you up and teaching you some pirates facts and some pirate lingo ... and you'll even learn the Pirates Oath ... ho ho ho, and a bottle of Rum!

Mr. Cod Fish & Chip Shop, Protaras

Tony Dynamou - 2nd July 2021 0

Pete told me he imports the best Cod from the North Atlantic, cuts it himself into 340 gsm portions, dipped into his mums secret recipe home made batter, which he said "I cant tell you the secret coz I'd have to kill you" hmm, and then fries it fresh to order using the finest vegetable palm oil, he says; "because I think it gives my cod the best flavour" ...

Serena Bay Beach Bar & Restaurant, Pernera

Tony Dynamou - 20th May 2020 0

An eatery of the highest esteem, I love the crazy paved terrace, shaded by tall mature trees, that twinkle delightfully as the sun sets, the crazy colourful tables and chairs, almost kindergarden'ish, little alcoves of comfy seating, hammocks set up high in the trees, whilst down a tier, skirting the rocks, a pathway leading to the almost private beach on the left, that'll have mellow music and waiter service and there's plenty of sunbeds, all with a view to die for, a sea of serenity at Sirena Bay ...

Joe, Bro and Mo’ at Savino Rock Bar

Tony Dynamou - 5th December 2017 0

For Sale: English Style Pub & Restaurant in Chloraka, Paphos

This is as traditional an English pub as you’ll find in Cyprus. It’s on a corner for starters, with wooden decking and comfy seating outside on the shaded, decked, beer terrace, inside its cosy, with lots of dark wooden beams, bar stools, pictures and railway memorabilia and a gorgeous open fire for the winter, to warm your brandy on … with regular eat-in clients and a successful entertainment programme ...

Easter Orthodox Style, 2024

Tony Dynamou - 1st May 2024 0

... At midnight all the lights are extinguished in the church and the priest comes from behind the doors of the altar carrying a candle. Walking to somebody in the front row and lighting their candle, this person and so on then pass the light from candle to candle and the light fills the church, symbolizing the Resurrection. Everyone then kisses one another and exchanges the words 'Christos Anesti' - Christ has risen, 'Alithos Anesti' - truly He has risen. ...

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…

Lovers Bridge, Cape Greko, Ayia Napa

Tony Dynamou - 10th September 2016 0

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.

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…

Bacchus Restaurant and Cafe, Kato Paphos

Tony Dynamou - 13th December 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, Antonis calls it "Multi-Cultural-Fusion" ... I suppose, that says it all!

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.

Cyprus Diving Centre, Pernera

Tony Dynamou - 15th June 2023 0

Another of Tamara and her team's specialities is their ability to calm students who are a little nervous about the idea of being underwater. They understand that some people worry a bit about putting on a mask and breathing underwater for the first time and the team has this amazing knack to calm you down and talk you through it, with the added reassurance that they'll be right next to you, and will even hold your hand when you take the plunge for the first time. Check out the comments from their first-time students, that speak for themselves!

Escape Night Club, Pyla, Larnaca

Tony Dynamou - 11th December 2024 0

Most nights, you'll find up to 12 gorgeous dancers and hostesses, from all over Europe, to keep you company if you buy them a drink ... The girls are always in the mood to party, they're just waiting for a good reason, and the more you party, the more they do and the girls love to dance, so they're happy to dance on the poles, tease with a lap dance, give you a wicked Fire show, or maybe a little private dance?

Syno Flame Grill, Larnaca

Tony Dynamou - 3rd December 2024 0

So, I asked George to tell me about his choice of beef ... and quite amazingly he told me; "We were the first to bring the burger scene to Larnaca. We mated Black Angus steers with our cows at several local farms, which gave birth to more Angus beef and we're now in our 16th generation and naturally, we get our beef fresh from our associated local farms ... ah ha! that's why my burger tasted so good!

December 2024

Tony Dynamou - 1st December 2024 0

Now I know it might sound crazy, but by the end of December up in the Troodos Mountains, you can go skiing or even Husky Sledding in the morning and by the afternoon you can be swimming in The Mediterranean Sea and that’s just one of the reasons why I think this place is Paradise!
