Beaches & diving

Beaches
The beach has been awarded a European Blue Flag for cleanliness and its facilities. Ramps give access to the beach, and a concrete path runs along the rear of the sands. There is safe bathing in the bay, with lifeguards operating a flag system. A wide variety of water sports are available from the western end of the beach. These include windsurfing, kayaking, water skiing, jet skiing, sailing, pedalos, banana boat rides, paragliding and ring rides. Loungers and parasols are available on the beach, which is part sand and part shingle, so it's helpful to bring beach shoes. A sea breeze reduces temperatures in summer, making Pissouri the perfect resort for windsurfing and kitesurfing. In July and August, small sections of the beach may be cordoned off to protect turtles' nests.

Diving:
Have you always dreamt of scuba diving? Take advantage of the excellent Cyprus weather where one of the longest dive holiday climates in the world is on offer. The waters surrounding the island are warm and clear with even tides and visibility reaching 30-40 meters. If you have never dived before, Cyprus is a wonderful place to experience the initial exhilaration of the underwater world. In safe conditions and under professional supervision, learn the basics of breathing underwater; visit the underwater remains of ancient archaeological ruins and explore rock gardens encapsulated in sponge.
