Holiday in a Pissouri Beach Hotel - Cyprus unveils its best kept secret

By booking a stay at a Pissouri beach hotel, Cyprus will reveal one of its ultimate hidden gems. This stunning area of natural beauty is ideal for family holidays in the sun, or a romantic break for lovers of all ages - and it's easy to see why many foreigners have chosen this unspoiled part of the island as their overseas home.

From your Pissouri based Cyprus hotel, you can easily reach a multitude of fabulous sites and the gorgeous village itself. With plenty of quality eateries in the area, you'll be able to find both international and local dishes, all served with a friendly face and welcoming smile. The village square is entirely free of traffic too, so you can enjoy a sedate walk around and take in the beautiful houses and various shops and restaurants. Look out for shops selling locally crafted gifts – the beautifully embroidered linens make the perfect souvenir, or you could grab yourself some gorgeous lace as a gift for friends and family.

Step out from your Cyprus hotel and meet the locals

Pissouri village is also home to a modern amphitheatre, which hosts a variety of different musical events, operatic and theatrical performances during the summer - popular with both visitors and locals, this is a great way to celebrate the Cypriot culture. If you've booked your Cyprus hotel during September, you can pop along to the village's annual Wine Festival. The area surrounding Pissouri is popular for grape growing, so you can try a range of inexpensive yet delicious local wines and perhaps even purchase a few bottles to take home with you.

Because Pissouri is a coastal village, you can enjoy the added benefits of staying in a beach hotel - Cyprus and its people know exactly what's required when it comes to luxury accommodation, and with a fabulous beach resort and other seaside accommodation located in the vicinity, you won't be disappointed. If you're travelling out of season, and you're visiting the area during February, then you'll land right in the middle of carnival time. The local carnival lasts for 10 action packed days - you can attend a fun fancy dress ball, one of the many parties or watch the parade as it passes by.

Cyprus – something for everyone

Cyprus is a destination that can be enjoyed by all. Whether you're looking for culture, relaxation or adventure, by staying at a Cyprus hotel in Pissouri you'll be able to enjoy any or all of these things; and if you choose a 5 star beach hotel for your stay, Cyprus-style pampering will be there for the taking in the shape of an exquisite, award-winning spa.
