I live right near there.
Here’s some personal recommendations for where we go / would go if holidaying here.
———
Nice holiday moments / music:
- Drinking at sunset with panoramic views: PANORAMA LOUNGE (PISSOURI)
- Sunset into the sea:
SEA YOU BEACH BAR (PAPHOS)
- General clubbing and good chance of good music (outdoor / indoor hybrids large and small)
GUABA BEACH BAR,
SOUSAMI,
SALUT,
KESH,
MASON BAR,
NOA BEACH
AGORA ROOFTOP
(these recommendations come with a caveat that it depends on the event that night - for example Guaba goes from Prog to Techno to EDM depending on the event and Agora has electronic nights which are nice for sit down drinks rather than dancing but on some nights it’s Greek music - but these are the places that do regularly invest in good electronic DJs)
For a nice upmarket meal and 5 star surroundings:
THE COLUMBIA BEACH HOTEL & RESORT in Pissouri, close to you and a taxi home from Zoe Pangeras +357 99 492550
Car hire also Zoe Pangeras. Really reasonable based in Pissouri near your resort.
Beautiful beach / water activity:
- Pissouri Bay (sunbathing, boat, stand up paddleboard hire, diving)
- Aphrodite’s Rock (diving, great scenery)
- Latchi Boat hire. Head here, arrive early or book the boat the days before.

Cooling off:
- A cool Walk in the mountains, aim for the cyprus ski club (one big loop on a similar level with easy incline / declines )

(It drops about 10 degrees here but you will not need a coat as it’s more like 24 degrees)
Nicosia is 90 minute drive away and a lovely city with its own identity and story but for being outdoor I’d honestly avoid it as it’s regularly 40 degrees being land locked in july and august whereas more like 32-35 where you are staying as you have coast.

I’m in UK 16-29 Aug but would be good to meet if you’re still here.
If you tell me the dates I’ll also pick out some potential music events for you as I’ve started to have a grasp of what’s regularly going on.
