Out and about with Jill Campbell Mackay

If visiting churches is not your thing, perhaps the frescoes of Troodos will change your mind

What’s On

FLAMENCO: it evokes passion, drama and above all Spain; an art of dancing that has been followed for over 12 centuries by both amateurs and professionals that have found its intensity and unique expressiveness irresistible.

Where have all the real men gone
If it’s not bacon and eggs for breakfast, it’s not the same
IF IT isn’t enough watching women everywhere push food around their plates and avoid anything with more than two calories in it just because they binged at Christmas, now the guys are at it too.

Take seven zivanias

2005-01-16

Christmas and New Year may be over, but the drinking never stops. While Zivania has been drunk – and been making people drunk – for centuries in Cyprus, it is a relatively new addition to my drinks cabinet. Nevertheless, it is right up there now with other goodtime tipples like vodka, over-proof rum and tequila. But as with all alcoholic drinks, quality between brands can vary significantly.

PRESIDENT Papadopoulos shattered the last few remaining hopes of a settlement during his term, in a speech he made at a book launch on Wednesday night. He re-iterated his theoretical commitment to a solution that would re-unify the island, but set one non-negotiable condition – the preservation of the Cyprus Republic – which would preclude any settlement in the foreseeable future.

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.
