Pissouri

Introduction

Pissouri is the perfect setting for a more traditional holiday. Pissouri is located in the southwestern part of the island of Cyprus. Although there has been tourism here for many years, Pissouri still retains its traditional feel. Pissouri Village is set in the hills above the bay and clusters round a traditional village square. Pissouri Village is a lovely place to visit in the evenings, with its selection of traditional tavernas and little shops. Once a week a traditional Cyprus night is held in the square, with live music and dancing. Pissouri Bay is down the hillside, about a four minute drive from the village. There are several tavernas and shops at the beach, and a range of watersports are also available here.

Getting There

After leaving the airport, head towards Lemesos. Follow the signs for the A5 Motorway to Lemesos (Limassol) NOT the A2 to Lefkosia(Nicosia). Take the A5 to Lemesos and this road will join the A1 and take you right through Lemesos (Limassol) over several flyovers. At this point you will begin to see signs for Paphos.This same road then becomes the A6. Keep going on this Motorway until you reach a tunnel. After the tunnel look out for and take the turn off to Pissouri Bay. It should take about 20 minutes to this sign from Lemesos.
