We had an amazing dive holiday! Steve helped us improve from Open Water Diver to Advanced Open Water Diving. We got to visit 3 different wreck sites and had a ball in each place. Me and my sister both agreed that we improved leaps and bounds in both our control and style of diving.

I have just returned to the UK after 10 days in Pissouri. We were 2 families with 2 members qualified open water divers although neither had dived for a while.
We contacted Tracey prior to arriving in Cyprus to enquire about refreshing the girls skills. Tracey responded to all our enquiries and was very helpful and informative.
We arranged to meet in the resort where Tracey assessed the girls and the paperwork was completed. Diving conditions in the bay weren't suitable at the time due to the weather so Tracey arranged to take the girls to Latchi - a nearby resort.
The two dives consisted of refreshing skills and having fun without compromising safety. It was a very enjoyable day and renewed the girls interest and enthusiasm for diving.
Tracey appeared to go the extra mile to ensure the girls had fun in a safe and controlled environment. I would recommend Pissouri Bay Divers to all levels of experience. Tracey is very patient and experienced and is obviously enthusiastic about diving. Her knowledge of the local area is also an added bonus for people like us who were first time visitors to Cyprus.

4. Pissouri Beach

I always find reviews of Beaches rather difficult, it is such a subjective thing and people are, quite naturally, looking for different things from it.
We have visited Pissouri three times, all during January, so have only seen the beach in winter - strong waves, pulling back on the pebbles, with only windsurfers venturing out in the water.
The beach sweeps around Pissouri Bay with cliffs at either end, a Promenade runs along the length with access from the hotels and village, showers provided and it looks as if, in the summer, sunshades and loungers would prevail. There is a large car park at the village end where, in the winter, the bathing platforms are tored.
In the winter it is wild and windy and rather lovely. A good bracing walk, time to skim stones and admire the view.

Pissouri village is up a few steep windy roads from Pissouri bay, but take about five minutes in the car from the bay. However once you are there and parked the village is really nice and lively in the evening.
During the day it is much more quiet and don't come to the village if you are looking to do lots of shopping as shops are very few and far between, you pretty much go to the village to eat in one of the many restaurants.
Still it is very nice and I would go back.

Fascinating little gift shop, selling traditional Cypriot gifts, organic honey/olive oil products, jewelry and much much more. We were served by a Natali (a charming Cypriot girl) who explained that unlike many gift shops, everything on display was handmade in Cyprus by local crafts people and as such many gifts can be personalised to an individual customers request or design. It was a pleasure to visit such a unique little shop that it would be a shame for anyone to miss it on a visit to Pissouri. I will certainly be paying them another visit on my return to Cyprus.

It was my birthday and I wanted to try something I'd never done before. So Paragliding it was! The experience was fantastic and the people who run the watersport centre were very friendly. They do all sorts of water based activities there. I just thought it was a bit expensive as I paid 50 Euro for a 5 minute flight. But it was great and I'd recommend anyone does it, even those scared of heights!

Whilst on holiday in paphos we drove to Pissouri as it is so beautiful. My eight year old son wanted to go on the giant red inflatable sofa AFTER we had been asked if we wanted to do any sports. In the end my husband and his friend relented and the went to chris's where the red one was.
While the were getting on the boat the owner of xenios actually came and started giving me abuse and swearing at the sun beds we had paid him 12 euros for in front of my friends child ss well. Absolutely disgusting behaviour from someone who is competing for business. I will never give my hard earned money to someone like that. Don't use them.
