The winery of Aes Ambelis is back this year with a bigger selection of wines in its cellar and with some new interesting blends. Firstly, the good news: the winery is now complete and they accept visitors daily (on Sundays by appointment). As I wrote last year, the winery itself has one of the best designs that I have come across on the island.
Sir,
The Minister of Commerce Industry and Tourism is undertaking meetings with the political party leaders to secure their views on setting up casinos in Cyprus, to be submitted to the Council of Ministers.
Sir,
I am beginning to wonder whether Tassos Papadopoulos really wants peace and reconciliation between the Greek and Turkish peoples of this island. Before long, his policies are going to drive him and the good Greek people into an abyss of political blunder.
Sir,
I have holidayed in Cyprus every year, some times twice a year, since 1986, visiting the same hotel in Paphos. Having just returned from holiday I am amazed at the lack of tourists in the town and on my visits to Limassol and Larnaca the situation seems the same. This drop is on top of the drop in 2003.
THE CO-ORDINATING Committee of the Cancer Patients and Relatives of the Nicosia hospital’s Oncology Department yesterday lashed out at Health Minister Dina Akkelidou, for insisting that a new centre in Limassol would be better for the patients.

TODAY is the biggest day in the history of Greek sport. Greece is in the final of Euro 2004, playing the hosts and hot favourites Portugal. Even we atheists will be on our knees tonight praying to the Almighty for victory.
ALMOST every village in the north has a mosque, and each mosque has an Imam who calls the faithful to prayer five times a day. Such sights and sounds might easily convince the Western visitor that he or she has arrived in the East.
IF YOU happen to be going down Makarios Avenue and you happen to see mustangs running in the wild desert of Arizona or pirate ships passing you by don’t be alarmed, you are not in any immediate danger.
High winds and the onset of high summer have left many a flower bed in need of a good trim
Gardening with Patricia Jordan
WITH all the wind this year already and the huge thunderstorm some of us had in mid June, lots of the early flowerers are looking past their best so it’s time to give them a trim.
The Cyprus Mail is the only English-language daily newspaper published in Cyprus. It was established in 1945 and today, with its popular and widely-read website, the Cyprus Mail is among the most trusted news sites in Cyprus. The newspaper is not affiliated with any political parties and has always striven to maintain its independence. Over the past 70-plus years, the Cyprus Mail, with a small dedicated team, has covered momentous events in Cyprus’ modern history, chronicling the last gasps of British colonial rule, Cyprus’ truncated independence, the coup and Turkish invasion, and the decades of negotiations to stitch the divided island back together, plus a myriad of scandals, murders, and human interests stories that capture the island and its -people. Observers describe it as politically conservative.
