Cyprus Night in Pissourri

It's Wednesday night (June-Sept) and locals, tourists and residents make their way to Pissourri Village Square for Cyprus night. A night of food, drink, fun, dancing and entertainment. The atmosphere is good in the warm temperatures of a Cyprus evening and everyone is having a good time. The Greek Dancers show good spirit and involve the audience well as does 'Sexy Maria' who woos the males with her long wings, seductive moves and raunchy duos with selected male and female spectators.  Its fun for all the family but beware, being too close to the action means the noise will be ringing in your ears for a long time after as the music is very loud. I would also carefully select the restaurant as a few particpate together and quality varies although the buffet offering is basically the same. At 'Platea' restaurant it was 20 euros per head for basic salad, average meat and some grapes and melon which we thought it was steep but you can eat as much as you want and the service is pretty good considering how busy they are! Drinks prices are reasonable with 2euros for a bottle of beer and 12-15 euros for some of the better bottled local wines. You can get a carafe of 'village wine' for 8 euros but combined with the loud music you would be sure of a sore head later or in the morning. Other restaurants particpating are O'Vrakas and The Pissourri Village Square Taverna. We have tried O'Vrakas before for a meal and it was great so if we go again that's where we'll go. There are bars and cafes in adjoining streets so if you still want the atmosphere without quite such loud music then perhaps they are a good answer. All in all it's a good night out, especially with a group but it really is for everyone. Have fun if you try it and let us know how you get on and which restaurant really is the best one to go. Do they all serve the same food at the same price?

Pissourri is located about 25 minutes from the roundabout at the end of the Paphos/Limassol Highway and easily reachable from our villas with private pool at Secret Valley Resort and all our golf properties in paphos.
