Pissouri: Quaint Village with Scenic Bay View
Pissouri is the 3rd largest village in Limassol, Cyprus. It is known for its nature trails and the bay area, which is located on the southern tip of the village. The village proper is lined with small shops, rustic coffee shops, and quaint churches. The nearest airport, Paphos International Airport (PFO), is 30 minutes away from the center.
Best Time to Visit
This village is livelier during the summer because it provides what they call “Cyprus Night” for the visitors. This nightly celebration in the village square is filled with music and dancing, which shows true Cypriote hospitality. If you are coming here during July and August, expect Pissouri hotelrates to be higher since tourism peaks during these months.
What to Do & Area Attractions
The most imposing structure in this village is the Gothic-style Church of Apostle Andrea, which was built in the 18th century. What is interesting about its history is that this building was purely built by volunteers who sacrificially dragged the stones needed for the construction from nearby villages. If you are looking for a home away from home, the suites of Vineland Bay Villas is the best accommodation for you. Another lodging with a homey vibe is the Hylatio Tourist Village. These two accommodations offer easy access not just to the Pissouri village but also to the scenic Aphrodite’s rock and the beach of Aphrodite.
