Pissouri is essentially small and at the same time an incredibly picturesque village in Cyprus, which is located in the middle between such famous resorts as Paphos and Limassol. If you visit one of the most famous sights of Cyprus, and more precisely "Petra Tou Romiou", which is more known as the place of birth of excellent Aphrodite, you must definitely pay attention to this village because it looks perfectly from the highway.
In essence, Pissuri, as it were, consist of two parts - that is, the village itself, which spread on the hill is located from the sea for a distance of 3 kilometers, and a tourist area located right on the shores of the Mediterranean Sea.
Right in the center of the village nearby with the ancient Church of the Apostle Andrei, built in 1880, there is a square with a lot of taverns and small shops. Here you can stroll through the narrow streets, buy warm fragrant bread, baked in a local bakery, and admire traditional for Cyprus with stone houses. Another attraction of this village is that neither there is a real amphitheater, where the performers are quite famous in the country.
Literally in the recent past, Pissouri was a quiet fishing village with a small number of local residents, practically no one known and unwillingly massive tourism. However, during the period of construction boom, which was in Cyprus, this place was also actively built up with very numerous apartments and villas. At first, the resort of Pissuri was chosen by the British, well, and later, our compatriots began to buy real estate here with great pleasure.
After a fashionable hotel "Columbia Beach Resort" was built on the seashore, then all tour operators began to put this place in their list of proposals. It should be noted that this hotel quite successfully decorated the terrain, because before its appearance the coast was almost very deserted. Now the main population of the village of Pissouri, perhaps, is not indigenous, but mostly inhabitants of villas and apartments, which actually live here year-round due to the local warm climate.
The climate here is really superb - 360 sunny days a year, that is, you can rest here almost all year round except, perhaps two winter and two more hottest summer months. Only in December and in January it is likely to rain and cold wind. Well, in July, and in August, the air temperature can exceed the mark in plus 40 degrees.
Therefore, to those people who poorly tolerate too much heat, of course you should not visit Cyprus in these months. Well, the rest of the time you can come completely free. The local beach is located in a cozy beautiful bay, which bends white rocks. Translated into Russian, the name KAPO ASPRO means - "White Cape". The beach has a decent extension - almost more than a kilometer in length.
From the hotel's popular "Columbia Beach" and along the entire coast goes Promenade. In the sea, the input is pebble and almost immediately becomes deep. About the coastline can be said that it is sand-pebble. Since in Cyprus all beaches are municipal, the territory near hotels are not fenced here, but it is better not to take those sun beds that belong directly to hotels.
All those wishing for a fee are sun beds with umbrellas in terms of cost from 2 to 2.5 euros per unit. Almost all Cyprus there are precisely such rates. In principle, no one bothers to sunbathe on their mats, or towels.
A huge advantage of this beach is his little humanity, and at any time you can always find a place here, but it is that no one will walk on your head, and you can not be afraid that anyone in the process of the game falls in you with a ball. A small part of the beach, which was removed from hotels in recently chopped nudists. Those who wish can join them, but those who do not want to go there and are located in other places. So everything is quite democratic.
The only minus of the beach holiday in Pissuri can be called cold currents, and absolutely unpredictable. Water suddenly suddenly completely becomes cold, and how much this phenomenon continues to say exactly impossible. Maybe it will be only three days, and maybe a week.
And that is unpleasant - the fact that the phenomenon is noted only in this place. The exceptions are September-October months, when the sea is warmly guaranteed. Most likely, for the summer months, the sea has time to warm up so well that no currents can play a negative role. Therefore, the best months for a beach holiday in Pissouri are September and October. It is also noteworthy that you can use the Internet here for free.
