Perched on the hillside, the views from Pissouri village and it's surroundings are spectacular. To the East it is possible to see across the countryside to the shoreline stretching all the way to Limassol and even beyond. The north of Pissouri is witness to the Troodos mountain range, including the snow-capped peaks of Mount Olympus which at more than 6000 ft, is the highest mountain on the island.

Pissouri has a quaint, unique character bestowed by winding cobbled streets lined by charming rustic houses. The Cypriot character has certainly been retained and is what attracts visitors, holidaymaker and expatriate residents alike.

Visitors can find almost anything they want in Pissouri - there are a wide range of shops, 2 banks and just about every need is catered for with it's abundance of tavernas, restaurants and bars - all are good and serve food/drink of exceptional quality.

During the summer there is a traditional 'Cyprus night' in the lovely pedestrianised village square, with dancing and music. Although the idea is perhaps that it provides entertainment for the visitors to Pissouri, it is also true that a significant number of those present every week are the villagers themselves and people can truly enjoy an authentic Cyprus evening! On 12 August 2000, the new amphitheatre was opened in Pissouri village and has regular productions from local amateur and internationally recognised theatre groups.

At one time Pissouri village, had a fishing jetty a few kilometres away down the hill. Now they are two distinct communities, Pissouri village and Pissouri Beach. The total population in the summer is said to reach around 1100 people, about half of whom are Cypriots, the rest mainly British, residents and visitors.

The beach area is approximately 3km from the village and has developed since the beginning of the 1980s from a jetty and one small taverna, into what it is today - an informal collection of excellent tavernas, a few shops, two banks, some apartments and one hotel. It is not an overdeveloped resort, as similar areas on Cyprus have become during the same two decades, and like Pissouri village, it has retained a Cypriot atmosphere.
