With summer just around the corner and May now here most of the businesses are now ready to welcome the annual influx of tourists from around Europe and other countries beyond as well.

Final touches for those who are opening in the next couple of days will be completed and those who have already opened their doors welcoming the early tourists of the season to their businesses. Most of the restaurants are open providing the tourists (and locals of course) a variety of tempting menus from the traditional Cypriot Meze, to the taste of Italy at numerous Italian restaurants to Chinese food at the well established spots and even Lebanese at the newly opened restaurant close to the heart of Ayia Napa.

It's not just the businesses that are ready, but the municipality has gone and resurfaced all the major roads after years of decline due to varying reasons. Gone is the need to avoid a pot hole in the road or the worry of poor road surfaces as you drive around Ayia Napa during the day and at night you know we can concentrate what's on the road ahead of us and not on the state of the road that you drive on.

Furthermore, for the more open-eyed tourists, the municipality has gone and changed the walls of Ayia Napa not by painting them with a new coat of paint but by building on to the walls a new layer of stone. Not just any stone though, but with the stone which the houses were built with many years ago.

As you come down into Ayia Napa from the top of the hill from Paralimni, as you enter you will notice the walls are now covered with this old stone and also a few new small walls also have been built in the same style to give the town a different optical view and a new refreshing look but a reminder of the days before Ayia Napa became a center of attraction for tourists. The regular Ayia Napa tourist will notice the difference and feel more welcomed.

Also as you go towards the Harbour from the traffic lights you will notice the improvement of the short strip leading to their and let's not forget either the World Championship event taking place there for the 1st time in Cyprus.

Welcome to the refreshed look and feel of Ayia Napa 2008.
