Dawn and Kully's final evening.

On our last evening with Dawn and Kully we met up at the Panorama bar. We enjoyed pre dinner drinks at sunset and soaked up the panoramic views over the surrounding countryside. 

From its elevated position (at or near the entrance of the village), you get views over the hills, valleys, olive groves or rural farmland, dotted with traditional Cypriot houses, and the distant coastline.

We then made our way over to the Bunch of Grapes restaurant. We sat down in their beautiful courtyard  and all enjoyed the splendid the the BOG are known for.

The courtyard is part of a traditional 200-year-old manor house converted into the inn.

It’s lushly gardened, there are mulberry trees (ancient ones) giving shade, grape vines, and lots of bougainvillea with bright colours.

Dawn and Kully and a 52nd Wedding Anniversary

Mandy's niece niece Dawn, along with her husband, Kully, arrived in Cyprus for a week's holiday in Pissouri. 

We met up at the Captain's Bay restaurant that overlooks Pissouri bay For a light lunch and a catch up

In the evening it was time to make our way down to the Pissouri amphitheatre to see the tribute act to the British 80's pop band, Duran Duran. 

On Sunday we drove up to the  village of  Prastio to help Mike and Tina celebrate their 52nd wedding anniversary. We were joined by a number of friends and enjoyed a good meal and a few glasses of wine.

A wedding anniversary dinner

Mandy and I marked our 21st wedding anniversary with a celebratory dinner in the courtyard of The Bunch of Grapes in our home village of Pissouri, Cyprus.

The setting could not have been more perfect. The courtyard of the Bunch of Grapes restaurant in Pissouri, with its stone walls and leafy canopy, carried that timeless Cypriot charm that makes every occasion feel both relaxed and special.

And then, of course, the food. Each course was a delight. Fresh, beautifully prepared, and bursting with flavor.

Sitting in that courtyard, raising a glass together, and reflecting on 21 years of marriage felt truly special. It was the perfect way to celebrate not only the milestone but also the life we’ve built together here in Pissouri.
