Pissouri: Beach, Trails and Attractions

Pissouri can be explored through several clearly distinct local features: Pissouri Beach lies at the southern end of the old village, alongside the linear Yellow Route and individual sites in the village and nearby area. When choosing a destination, it may help to first decide what matters most to you. If the coast is the deciding factor, focus on the beach features. The chapel, aqueduct and amphitheatre offer other named landmarks. This way, you can assess Pissouri based on the themes that matter for your trip.

Pissouri Beach: scenery and practical information

Pissouri Beach is sheltered by the white cliffs of Cape Aspro. It has fine golden sand, small colourful pebbles and relatively calm waters. For travellers who pay particular attention to coastal scenery when choosing a destination, these features provide a specific point of reference.

There are five public footpaths at Pissouri Beach, two of which are wheelchair-accessible. Check current trail conditions before your trip. There are also facilities for sports activities, car parks and amenities described as accessible for people with disabilities. Check the operational details of these facilities before your arrival. From April to October, lifeguards with rescue equipment and first-aid services are stationed at Pissouri Beach. This period spans seven months.

Yellow Route: route and distance

The linear Yellow Route starts at Pissouri Square and ends in the Pissouri Tourist Area at the Columbia Hotel. It is 10.8 km long. If you plan to take the route, you can use its named endpoints and distance as a guide. Check current route conditions before setting out.

Chapel, aqueduct and amphitheatre

The Profitis Ilias Chapel is located on the wooded hill of Agios Ilias, west of Pissouri and about two kilometres away. The ancient Havouza Aqueduct is in Pissouri, east of Ampelonon Street. The chapel is therefore a landmark in the nearby area; Havouza can be located by reference to a street within the village. The direction and distance help you pinpoint the chapel, while the street reference provides a guide to the aqueduct's location.

The Pissouri Amphitheatre is in the heart of the village and has 800 seats. This capacity gives a specific indication of the amphitheatre's size; check access separately.

Hotels in Pissouri: choose what matters to you

First consider whether the beach, the linear Yellow Route or the named sites in the village and nearby area are important for your trip. This will help you assess Pissouri based on your interests; you can then evaluate specific hotel options using their own details.
