Our faces are kissed by a cooling breeze, as we lie down on the sumptuous outdoor sofas at the Notios Restaurant. The children’s’ hair is still damp from swimming. That’s hardly surprising, as there are hardly a dozen steps from the pool to any of the three restaurants. The grilled octopus, special kiddie pizzas and a giant platter of Sushi – courtesy of a Japanese chef – are all delicious. The stunning view of Paphos Bay helps to heighten the atmosphere.
Almyra being ranked highly on a culinary ‘coolness’ scale is no wonder. Read more...

Obviously, we do train them in a range of skills, but letting them use their own mind is absolutely key.” A beautiful seabass and delicious Carpaccio are set before us. Read more...

While my wife and daughters slowly start to wake up, I saunter towards the resort’s main square, enjoying the early morning sun. Although the square is the resort’s main entertainment hub, it’s virtually deserted in the early morning and I enjoy a peaceful moment at the Mercado Deli & Bake, where I order a freshly brewed cappuccino, a newspaper and a croissant. Basking in the first rays of sunshine, I wait to see what today will bring. Read more...

Just when we conclude, by mutual consent, that we have definitely taken the wrong turning, a sign with ‘Crescent Moon Cabins’ shows the opposite.

The very first thing our daughters see when we walk onto the beach in front of the Windjammer Landing Resort is the giant bouncy castle with slide that is floating in the calm sea.
