Events in Pissouri
With the kind permission of the
Pissouri
Residents Association (PRA), we are pleased to provide
a list of events taking
place in Pissouri, the organiser is acknowledged in each case.
Weather
One of the benefits of being a Mediterranean island is
plentiful sunshine throughout the year, and Cyprus is no exception. Summer
stretches from mid-May to mid-October and means high temperatures, normally
cloudless skies and cooling breezes from the sea. Even in the height of summer
when it's 32°C at the beach (and warmer inland), temperatures are refreshingly
cooler in the Troodos, making the mountains ideal for hiking or simply relaxing.
December to February are the winter months, bringing the
possibility of rain, but still an average of six hours of bright sunshine a day.
At this time of year smaller Mediterranean destinations shut down for the
season, but not so Cyprus. The many important heritage sites and museums are all
at their least crowded in winter. Into early February there is occasional rain,
and often snow in the Troodos mountains - ideal for skiing!
The first orchids bloom in January, and by mid-February the
countryside is alive with fresh green meadows and almond trees in bloom. March
days can still be cool (daytime temperatures around 18°C) but steadily moderate.
Early spring is a wonderful time to visit to Cyprus, with pleasant daytime
temperatures and many of the ancient ruins framed by a carpet of red anemones
and other wildflowers. If in summer Cyprus is the place to bask in the sun, then
spring is the time to savour the natural beauty of the island in bloom.

Weather Forecasts
(Akrotiri is closer to Pissouri than Paphos or Limassol, near
the southern-most point of Cyprus, but tends to be the coolest coastal part of
Cyprus, and temperatures are likely to be slightly higher in Pissouri.)
Car Hire & Flights to Cyprus
For many of the
villas and
apartments for rent on this site, a car is almost essential, and for others
it will enable you to get the most out of your visit to Pissouri.
You can either hire a car at the airport, and drive to the
villa, or get a taxi from the airport and hire a car in Pissouri village on
arrival. Details to help you make the appropriate arrangements will be sent with
your confirmation, then you can either make your own arrangements, or assistance
will be offered if requested.
When staying at Pissouri, Paphos airport is the most
convenient airport for flying to Cyprus, being only
about a 30 minute drive away, but there are fewer flights to Paphos than to
Larnaca airport, which is about an 80 minute drive away.
The owners of this website and other clients have been
particularly impressed with the service provided by Thomson Airways. They still
retain the customer service ethos, which some others have lost. Many of their
clients have been quick to praise how they handled the recent Volcano ash
crisis. Their web site address is
