Blue Flag pebble-and-sand bay on the Limassol-Paphos coast, roughly midway between the two cities.
Pissouri Bay Beach is a Blue Flag beach on the coast between Limassol and Paphos, roughly 30 to 37 km west of Limassol depending on the route. Sources describe it as one to two kilometres of sand and pebbles, backed by tavernas and cafes, and the bay is sheltered enough for calm swimming in summer. Facilities include sunbeds and umbrellas, water sports at the busier end, and several restaurants. The Pissouri Bay Divers operate in the bay for diving and snorkelling. Pissouri village itself sits on the hill above, with a small square and tavernas. The beach is reached by car or taxi in about 35 to 40 minutes from Limassol, and intercity buses on the Limassol-Paphos road serve the area with a short walk or taxi ride from the main road; timetables should be checked on cyprusbybus.com. The Blue Flag award is renewed annually, so the current status should be confirmed at blueflag.global. The beach is popular with families and is more peaceful on weekday mornings.
