Arrived in the evening for dinner, stayed until midnight.
Dinner at Italian restaurant il Boccon Divino Osteria Italiana. Pasta dish with ragú. Cold dish, chewy, ragu good. Bread to mop up the sauce. A glass of red wine.
At nine-thirty loud moronic music from nearby bar that kills the restaurant, empties rapidly of clientelle. It gets louder and louder. I am forced to leave.
Last week it was loud in the street. Tonight, deafening. It was noisy in Ayia Napa the previous night, but nothing as bad as this. It is destroying local businesses.
To blame, the useless Mayor of Paralimni. Bars used to have to cease noise at 1am, but it went on for at least another hour, followed by drunken scum screaming and shouting in the street as the bars emptied the drunken scum onto the streets. The Mayor changed to 2am.
In Spain, they don’t want the dregs of the tourist industry, clamping down on noise and drunken behaviour.
Cyprus needs to do the same. Noise not audible in the street, no noise after midnight. Any breaches by bars, warning, fine, seize equipment, prison, hefty fine and close the bar.
Ice cream and cappuccino at Patisserie Amelie. Pistachio ice-cream excellent, cappuccino LaVazza not good.
A few minutes wait for a bus after midnight, then buses only every half an hour.
