The Two Friends Restaurant Christmas meal

We enjoyed a final pre Christmas meal in Pissouri at the Two friends restaurant. We were joined by our friends, Tania and Pete the food was good, the wine was flowing and we all made sure that the laughs kept coming.

Christmas in Pissouri Square

Pissouri Square was filled with festive cheer as residents and visitors came together to enjoy a wonderful Christmas celebration at the heart of the village. The square was transformed into a lively hub of colour, music and seasonal spirit, creating a truly memorable occasion for all ages.

Charming stalls lined the square, offering a variety of handmade crafts and unique gifts, perfect for last-minute Christmas shopping .

Adding to the festive atmosphere were performances by local singers, including the PRA Choir, whose seasonal songs brought warmth and a sense of togetherness to the event. Their voices echoed through the square, drawing people together and encouraging plenty of smiles and singalongs.

To the delight of the younger visitors, Santa Claus himself made a special appearance, spreading excitement and Christmas magic as children eagerly greeted him. Families gathered, laughter flowed, and the true spirit of the season was felt throughout the square.

Overall, the Christmas celebration in Pissouri Square was a heartwarming event, full of family, joy and community spirit — a perfect way to celebrate the festive season in this beautiful village.

Stormy Weather

Some heavy electrical Storms passed over Cyprus this week causing flooding in parts of the country.

Dodging the rains, we took a walk on the outskirts of the village where we saw some superb views of the passing cloud formations over the Troodos mountains. 

The Final Christmas market

Despite winds that rattled the palm trees and rain that threatened to dampen spirits, the Christmas Market at the Pissouriana Hotel in Pissouri, Cyprus turned out to be a heart-warming success. Visitors arrived bundled in coats and scarves, determined not to miss a festive afternoon — and their enthusiasm quickly transformed the gloomy weather into a backdrop for something truly special.

Inside, stalls glowed with twinkling lights and seasonal décor, filling the air with the scent of holiday treats and fresh coffee.

Mandy’s stall enjoyed a particularly positive buzz throughout the afternoon. Customers lingered to browse the sales range, ask questions, and pick out special items, creating a steady flow of conversations and purchases.

 The Pissouri residents gathered together this week for their annual Christmas Dinner, hosted in the beautifully decorated surroundings of the Hillview Restaurant. With sparkling lights, elegant festive touches and cosy views across the village, the atmosphere set the perfect scene for a special evening.

Guests enjoyed a delicious seasonal menu, beautifully presented and full of flavour. The food was accompanied by fine wine and plenty of good company, with laughter and conversation flowing around every table. It truly felt like Christmas had arrived in Pissouri.
