Holidays in Pissouri

Pissouri, Cyprus is a holiday spot located along the coast from Limassol and Paphos and is a charming and peaceful retreat that has managed to retain its traditional Cypriot Village atmosphere. If you are looking for a holiday in the sun away from the busier resorts of Cyprus then Pissouri is the perfect place.

In the past Pissouri village, on the hill, had a fishing jetty a few kilometres away down the hill, known as Pissouri jetty. Now they are two distinct communities, Pissouri village and Pissouri Beach, which has over years grown larger to accommodate tourism. Development of the area has been restricted so that this lovely resort can remain a traditional Cypriot Village and not become a sprawling tourist destination.

The beautiful beach lies between white cliffs and offers the best opportunities for swimming, snorkelling and water sports. Three kilometres uphill, you will find the picturesque village.
