This traditional Cypriot village has a square, traditional stone houses and an Orthodox church. The local people are welcoming and friendly and enjoy a slow pace of life. The town square is always festooned with bright flowers and is an ideal place to spend a relaxing afternoon that often includes Cypriot entertainment.

Pissouri Beach sits on an unspoilt bay with waterfront taverns and a fishing jetty. The bay is considered one of the most beautiful beaches in Cyprus. Stretching for two kilometres, this idyllic beach is protected by the white cliffs of Cape Aspro and has been awarded the European Blue Flag. The clean sands and crystal clear safe waters are perfect for families, there are always lifeguards on duty around the bay.

Away from the beach, visitors can enjoy a round or two of golf at the Secret Valley Golf Course or take a leisurely walk through the woods, vineyards, and farms. There are plenty of places to visit on your cheap Pissouri holiday, including the Cypriot capital of Nicosia, Limassol, Paphos, the picturesque village of Omodhos and not to be missed, the Troodos Mountains.
