After a long and usually cold winter we are looking forward to sunny days, light clothes and of course summer atmosphere! And though the warm season is bringing joy to all of us, everyone has their own “taste of summer”! For me summer means Cyprus and here I would like to share with you my best moments, that bring this special taste to my summer in Cyprus!
Play, Swim, Drink: the golden sand of Coral Bay and white sand of Blue Lagoon in Akamas is my number one choice for sunbathing, swimming and playing beach tennis. I love to go for beach parties as well. And when the day turns night an amazing fresh cocktail next to the Sea Caves completes my perfect day at the beach and brings me the first taste of summer!
Dress, Eat, Dance: the most wonderful thing in the summer is a night heat when you can wear a thin short dress and not get cold, feeling the absolute warmth all around you, even when breeze comes up. I like to start my evening with a light Mediterranean dinner at home on the balcony. If I’m in the mood, I’ll go uptown to a fancy terrace restaurant with the panoramic view of Paphos, which is a good place to start a long night, and then meeting up with friends for cold lime Caipiroska cocktail and go dancing. The relaxed atmosphere is guaranteed!
Napa, Napa, Ayia Napa?! How can summer go by without at least three days spent in Ayia Napa! Nissi Beach, clubbing all night long, crazy beach and boat parties, I guarantee, you will never forget it!This is the place of flamboyant atmosphere and endless celebration!
Ice Cream, Sorbet or Frozen Yogurt: is a significant part of my summer mood. This delicious treat that you can find nearly everywhere, it looks like a light version of ice cream and it’s called frozen yogurt. If you love ice cream as much as I do, but afraid not to fit in your bikini –fresh frozen Greek yogurt is your choice. Instead of sugar there is a natural product called “stevia” that replaces sugar. I would recommend you a white yogurt with strawberries, honey and almonds! If you just had a sufficient dinner like meat meze, but you still want dessert, I suggest you to take lime sorbet, very light and nicely bitter taste will make you feel satisfied!
Well, this is my recipe of perfect “taste” of Summer! And how does yours taste ?
