…and a show

By Maria Gregoriou

Still don’t know what to do with the kids during the day and you and your party mood on Christmas Eve? Don’t worry, we have got you sorted.

For your outing with the kids, the Loukia & Michael Zampleas Art Museum will be open for children from six to ten-years-old to play games and create their morning away. The kids can get involved in a number of interactive activities and games, run by Museum educator Anna Louca. The museum’s permanent collection will be their inspiration to also create handmade Christmas crafts, so make sure your tree still has a bit of room to hang their creations on.

On to some grown-up time in Paphos.

The Minthis Club House Restaurant is putting on a special night for Christmas Eve with a four course set menu dinner and a bottle of their house wine for two. And that is not all, local businessman and performer Michael Antoniou will be giving a live performance together with Melanie Ballard.

Get ready to get your fill of fine wine and delicious food while getting a night full of jazz and country music, and some classics from Frank Sinatra, Johnny Cash, Nat King Cole, Elvis and lots more, promising that this will certainly not be a blue Christmas.

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.
