Pissouri consists of two distinct communities; the village area and the bay area. Together these communities are populated by around 1100 people, half of them Cypriots and the rest expatriates, mostly British. Besides this fact, Pissouri has maintained its traditional Cypriot culture that caters to tourism, allowing visitors to enjoy a typical Mediterranean holiday. With a number of small restaurants, bars and boutique hotels, Pissouri is ideal for a quiet, relaxing getaway.

Pissouri offers a number of boat trips and shore dives for all levels of experience.

Several sites are comprised of overhangs, caves and walls at various depths. Rock formations are home to an abundance of marine life and can become extreme in nature. The most famous site, however, is the wreck of the Zenobia. Voted one of the world’s top ten wreck dives, this Swedish ferry sunk do to an inoperable malfunction of its ballast tanks. After traveling only one third of its intended maiden voyage, the Zenobia went down in 42 metres of water carrying over 200 million euros worth of cargo. Now you can enjoy this incredible site during a full-day, two dive excursion.
