PISSOURI VILLAGE & BAY

Pissouri is the third largest village district in the Limassol district of Cyprus, and is located in the Southwest of Cyprus just off the A6 motorway midway between Limassol and Paphos (34 kilometers from both). The main Pissouri village is located about 3 kilometers from the sea on the Cape Aspro ridge, and about 500 feet above sea level. The whole stretch is an absolutely gorgeous spot where the waves that softly lap up against a pebbled and sandy shoreline, partly cradled by the rocky cliffs that drop down to the sea, making the whole setting picture perfect. It is the administrative centre for the Pissouri District, and houses a delightful village square.
There are many charming taverns, coffee shops, as well as entertainment facilities, several chapels, and an imposing and historical Gothic church. The area is quite popular with locals and tourists in the summer, but there’s always a quiet spot to be found, and the crowds don’t even come close to what you would come across in the main hubs of nearby Limassol or Paphos. So what are you waiting for? Time to make the plunge!

The village took its name from the Greek word for weigh (zygizo), as locust-bean exporters brought the beans to Zygi to be weighed and delivered to the storehouses.

Zygi’s main attraction is its fishing shelter, which is surrounded by good quality fish taverns, many of which also have children’s facilities and attract diners from all over the island. The picturesque fishing shelter is popular for a stroll after a meal, whilst visitors can also take a traditional fishing trip where the fishermen tell tales of the sea as they demonstrate the old fishing methods.

Every year on September 17, a festival is held in honour of Agios (Saint) Eracledios, whose quaint church is located on the edge of the community. The church is believed to have originally been built around 1800 by immigrants from Asia Minor who settled in the area, as confirmed by graves found in the nearby cemetery.

Pedoulas village is a popular summer resort with a fascinating past. It is situated on the north flanks of the Troodos range, 1100 meters above sea level.

The history of Pedoulas dates back to Byzantine times and during the Frankish and Venetian periods it was a royal estate. Education in the village began officially in 1853 and private schools functioned as early as 1700 A.D. Most Pedoulians were educated at the local primary and secondary village schools.

Agriculture was the mainstay of the economy from the beginning and Pedoulas was ideal for growing cherry, apple and other fruit trees. But agriculture alone did not generate enough income, so even during difficult periods of its history, tourism, commerce and cottage industries were promoted as supplementary sources of income. Weaving was the exclusive engagement of women during winter days. Most households owned looms from which cotton and woolen cloth, carpets and blankets were made. The experience, however, of many tanneries in the village allowed the Pedoulians until recently, to process hides from which shoes and boots were made.

Before the end of the Second World War and in the years after, the village economy boomed. There is still evidence of the prosperity of those earlier generations. The schools,, churches, public buildings, hotels, water supply systems and tanneries remain to this day. Pedoulas was a pioneer centre for tourism and the production of cherries and at that time, the cultural and commercial centre of the fourteen villages of Marathasa.

Soon after the war, however, the village economy started fading. European manufacturers started producing and exporting high quality goods at low prices. The Pedoulas cottage industries could not compete and eventually collapsed. As a result many people left the village and the few who remained were unable to sustain it.
