Anogyra, Hideaway and the Iron Horse

 On Saturday we drove over to the village of Anogyra to spend a very relaxing afternoon at the Nicholas restaurant. The Nicholas has a lovely swimming pool and small gardens.

They do some lovely food including probably the largest omelette we have ever had.

We returned to Pissouri to meet up with Jayne and Barry for a delicious meal at The Hideaway restaurant. 

On the way home we nipped in to The Iron Horse bar where they were having a "Retro music" night, it was good to see so many old faces that we had not seen for a while. 

The following day we returned to Anoyra  for lunch at the Anagyris park restaurant with Steve, Mary, Donna and Nige.

When we booked we did not know that this would coincide with a Christening taking place at the restaurant. Even though there were numerous guests at the event, the owner, Marios, went out of his way to welcome us.

He had set up a private table in a gazebo in the garden where he served us a truly delicious meal in a lovely setting. 

A Night of Greek music

 The Symposium restaurant in Pissouri square was the venue for a night of Greek music with Evagoras Evagorou and his band of talented musicians. 

Along with Steve and Mary we enjoyed a superb night of food, wine, music and plenty of laughs along the way. 

The Bunch of Grapes and some Dashcam Views

On a beautiful, Summer's evening we made our way down to the "Bunch of Grapes " restaurant in Pissouri. We met up with Richard,  JD, Joey,  Ken and Ann.

All of our meals were superb, as was the setting, the service and the company.

We fitted a Dashcam to our car for safety reasons,  but one of the by products of this camera is that it gives us some great views of the coastal road that leads into Pissouri.

 

It also give you a feeling for the narrow roads that run through our Cypriot village.

Pissouri Wine Fair and a 60th Birthday

The Pissouri amphitheatre was the venue for this year's Pissouri wine fair. A number of local wineries set up stands to hand out samples of their wines. 

Local musicians and dancers kept the crowd entertained through the evening and there was a wonderful atmosphere between locals and visitors. 

The Following evening Mandy joined Pete and Tania at the Ampeli restaurant in Pissouri Bay to help celebrate Jackie's 60th Birthday.

The Mystery Bus trip

                  

The 2023 Pissouri Mystery Bus trip started with 43 residents meeting at The Two friends taverna. We set off heading for the Troodos mountains.

Our first stop was at the village of Argos where we visited a workshop that made traditional sweets. Our host Nikki gave us an informative talk on the process of the sweet making with rose petals and walnuts.

We then moved on down the hill to the "Rose Factory" where they use rose petals to make all manner of products including rose water, candles and cosmetics.

Our next stop was at the Gerolemo winery near the village of Omodos. Our host gave us a very entertaining  talk on the variety of wines that they produce.

We tasted six different wines and a Zouvenia.

Most of the visitors bought several bottles of wine.

Our final stop of the day was at the Anagyris restaurant near the village of Anoyra. This is where the guests enjoyed a splendid buffet lunch washed down with a bottle of local wine.

Stardust show in Peyia

 Mandy and The Golden girls made their way over to Peyia to see The Stardust Drag show. The Girls had a wonderful time watching this superb show, they laughed so much that it left them breathless at times.
