Pissouri Holidays – Combine the beach with a charming mountain village
Pissouri offers a particularly relaxing Cyprus experience, combining the slow pace of life of a picturesque hill village with the modest and relatively quiet resort of Pissouri Beach. Pissouri is in south-west Cyprus, 21 miles from Paphos and a few miles west of Limassol. Breaks here combine the small relaxing resort of Pissouri Beach with the hill village of Pissouri, a charming village with a friendly hospitable atmosphere and plenty of traditional Cypriot character, set on a south-facing mountain ridge with superb views of the coast and the Troodos Mountains.
