Some of the guide books about Cyprus devote a sentence to Pissouri,some even devote a paragraph to the village and its small beach resort.None of them do justice to the unique character and attractiveness of Pissouri to the visitor and holiday-maker.The Cypriot character has been retained and it is still very much a working village of farmers.

The Pissouri area is famous for growing grapes,mainly in the valley between the main roads and the sea that leads to Pissouri Beach.

Pissouri has managed to retain its traditional Cypriot character,while adapting very successfully to welcome visitors to the village. Visitors can find almost anything they want in Pissouri - there are several shops, village supermarkets and banks. As far as tavernas, restaurants and bars are concerned, there is an amazing number and variety - and they are all good, serving food and drink of exceptional quality. The centerpiece of the village is a traffic free village square.

On Wednesday evenings during the summer 'Cyprus nights' are held which feature traditional Cypriot and Greek dancers and a buffet super. Although the idea is perhaps that it provides entertainment for the visitors to Pissouri, it is also true that a significant number of those present every week are the villagers themselves, thus it really is a true Cyprus night.

The views from Pissouri village and its surroundings are spectacular. It is set on the eastern slopes of the ridge reaching the sea at Cape Aspro, about 500 feet high on average - the highest point on the ridge is about 800 feet. To the East it is possible to see the countryside and the shore line all the way to Limassol and even beyond, and to the north the whole of the Troodos range, including Mount Olympus, at more than 6000 ft, the highest mountain on the island.

The beach area has developed since the beginning of the 1980s from a jetty and one small taverna, into what it is today -an informal collection of excellent tavernas, a few shops, a bank, some apartments and one hotel. It features beautifully clean and warm water and a sandy/shingle beach.It is here that many Cypriots come on Sundays. The beach itself is clean and safe, and there are water sports available in the summer along with a small diving school if you would like to learn to scuba dive during your stay.However,it isn't dead in winter, it is just as enjoyable to have lunch on New Year's Day looking out over the sea as it is on the 15th August.
