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.

Pissouri Residents Christmas Dinner at Hillview

 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.

Entertainment for the evening was provided by the very talented singer Graham Dooley, whose smooth vocals and wide repertoire kept everyone smiling. From classic favourites to festive numbers, Graham helped create a relaxed and happy mood throughout the night.

It was a wonderful evening of friendship, celebration and community spirit – the very best way to begin the festive season here in Pissouri.
