    just reviewed Plaka Tavern Ltd and gave it 4 stars out of 5

    * * * *
    Plaka Tavern is a restaurant, serving traditional Cypriot food. When I went, I was with a group of six and we ordered meze. A plate of meze is 20 euro per person. It was completely worth the 20 euro as the food was unique and very flavorful. I enjoyed the meze at Plaka Tavern because I got a variety of renowned traditional food, that tasted very good. This included, chicken, lamb, beef, salads, pasta, etc. While 20 euro may seem like a lot, you are paying for multiple dishes, coming in large portions. Meze comes out in at least four courses and by the end I was stuffed. Plaka tavern offered a

    just reviewed Nissi Beach and gave it 4 stars out of 5

    * * * *
    Nissi Beach is a lively beach in Agai Napa. It is a popular beach for young people. There are many water sports available, including jet skiing, para sailing, tubing, etc. There is also a cliff that people can jump off of. Nissi beach gets very crowded. Chairs are available to rent for 2.50 euro each. It can be hard to find a place on the sand because of the crowd. Get there early! The crowd, Nissi beach attracts, results in trash, littering the beach. The worst to me, were the cigarette buts which covered the sand. It was the worse I have ever seen cigarette buts at a beach. The crowd and

    just reviewed Liquid Coffee Bar and gave it 4 stars out of 5

    * * * *
    While Liquid is labeled a cafe/bar, there is plenty of food to choose from for a full meal. For a good price, Liquid gives generous portions. I came with a big group and everyone loved their food. I strongly recommend the stir fry. The food at Liquid is mainly salads, pasta, pizza, and sandwiches. As a bar, they also have a variety of drinks available. The only thing I did not like from Liquid was their chips and quacamole. The chips were Doritoes instead of corn and the guacamole was not good. The staff is very friendly and helpful. They were constantly checking if we were okay and we did n

    just reviewed Klubd and gave it 2 stars out of 5

    * *
    Club D is an upbeat, techno club. Since i am not into just dancing to techno, it was not the club for me. Half an hour was about all i could take there. On the plus side, the staff was very friendly! They were polite when I had questions. The drinks were also fairly cheap. Unlike other clubs, Club D is not open bar. It costs 15 euros for entrance, which includes one drink. Club D is very, very small. It is one open room. When I first walked in, I though there was another room I was missing, but there wasn't. It was a Saturday night and it wasn't crowded at all, so we ended up having plenty

    just reviewed Zara (Makariou) and gave it 4 stars out of 5

    * * * *
    Zara is one highlight of downtown shopping. They provide a variety of clothes, from formal to fun and beige to prints. I have found that when I am looking for a simple add to my wardrobe, Zara is a good place to do it. Much of their clothes provide the style to mix and match. It is a bit expensive, but affordable. The quality is worth the price. The store is clean and created in sections of basics to prints and a formal section. It makes it helpful to maneuver around the store. If you are willing to spend a little extra, I recommend Zara. The clothes are very classy.

    just reviewed Topshop and gave it 4 stars out of 5

    * * * *
    Topshop is a trendy clothing store for young, female adults. The clothes are very up to date with European style. Many of the clothes in Topshop is something you would see from a magazine. With this, Topshop is a little bit expensive. They do have really good sales. I just got a dress for 22 euros. Whenever i have gone into Topshop, it has been clean and the store is well organized. This is in part of the amazing staff! They are polite and friendly. My experience has been that they will go out of their way for you. If you are willing to spend a little bit more money for stylish clothes, than

    just reviewed Cape Greco and gave it 4 stars out of 5

    * * * *
    When I went to Cape Greco, my friends and I went specifically to cliff dive. We did not have to drive very far to find a perfect cliff. Ours was approximately 30 feet high. Apparently there are higher cliffs if you are looking for a more intense adrenaline rush! The water was perfectly clear. From the rocks, we could see fish and eels. Scuba diving is also a popular trend at Cape Greco. Even if you don't plan on getting in the water, the scenery is beautiful for a drive or walk along the shore. Where I was, I did not see any sandy beaches but we did not travel very far. If you want to cliff d

    just reviewed Landa Beach and gave it 3 stars out of 5

    * * *
    Landa beach is a small beach, secluded from the rest of Agia Napa. Since it is more secluded the beach is much less crowded than other beaches in Agia Napa, like Nissi beach. With this, you don't get the same "walking distance" luxury to food and shops but it is much quieter. The water is fairly shallow for the first 100 meters out from shore. I am 5'7" and it did not go above my hips. This trait would make Landa beach a good choice for children. The sand was soft and clean. Besides large patches of rocks, Landa beach is not a rocky beach. There are chairs and umbrellas to rent for 2.50 euro

    just reviewed Gyromania Take Away and gave it 4 stars out of 5

    * * * *
    Gyromania is a gyro restaurant near the University of Nicosia. The gyros are cheap (fitting for a college student's budget) but taste gourmet. The restaurant provides chicken, beef, and pork. The chicken is my favorite. They provide a Greek gyro and Cyprus Gyro. The Greek gyro is smaller than the Cyprus gyro (but plenty) and is 3 euros. There are also other things on the menu, such as burgers, but I haven't tried any of them. The staff is friendly and helpful. If you go often, they will recognize you and want to learn all about you. Be prepared! The gyros are available for takeaway or sit do

    just reviewed Tokyo Japanese Teppanyaki Restaurant and gave it 4 stars out of 5

    * * * *
    Tokyo is a Japanese food restaurant across from the beach in Limassol. The tables are at cooking stations and the cooks will prepare your dishes right in front of you. Tokyo does not only provide food, but also an experience. The food is delicious. I got California rolls and Japanese noodles with beef. They were both amazing! The meat tasted very fresh. They have a large menu. You would have plenty to choose from. Tokyo is a bit expensive. The portions are large though so it is possible to share. I think it's completely worth the extra money. The staff was very friendly and helpful. I would lo

    just reviewed Arsinoe Beach Hotel and gave it 4 stars out of 5

    * * * *
    I have always been hesitant when booking a beach hotel. While the hotel may be along the beach, it often means, the beach is rocky, therefore one cannot swim. This was not the case with Arsinoe Beach Hotel. Directly across the road from the hotel is a long, sandy beach. The ocean was calm and I was able to swim out easily. There were also businesses along the beach for ocean kayaking, banana boating, jet skiing, para-sailing, etc. The location is also nice if you want to go out to dinner. There are many restaurants within walking distance. I strongly recommend Tokyo, a Japanese restaurant. It
