Cyprus holidays – choose a beach resort in Pissouri for Cypriot tradition

If you’re tempted by Cyprus holidays but you’re not quite sure what area to choose, then it’s worth considering a beach resort in the charming area of Pissouri. Better known for its vineyards than its tourism, Pissouri is ideally situated between Paphos and Limassol and is just 15 minutes by car from Paphos International Airport.

Some people want their Cyprus holidays to be full of adventure and all of the usual tourist trappings, but if you’re looking for a Cyprus hotel that is more in line with true Cypriot tradition, then Pissouri is the best place to start your search. The beauty of Pissouri is almost endless – the village is set into the hills overlooking the south west coast of Cyprus, and is one of the few areas of the island that has retained its traditional charm and remains largely untouched by tourism. Whitewashed stone buildings and quaint narrow streets are brought to life by splashes of colour from the flowerpots and window boxes that are lovingly tended to by the locals, and from this stunning location you can enjoy both the mountains and the beach.
