Kitesurfing In Pissouri

Pissouri Bay is a small and quiet bay and has one of the most beautiful beaches on Cyprus island. The wonderful seashore is around two kilometres long and offers great facilities and, unlike some of the others on the island, is never crowded. During most of the summer, the predominant winds are westerlies, which go right to left across the headland and into the bay. That makes it calmer and protected to the right for beginners, but windy enough to plane most days over to the left-hand side of the bay. The water temperature is usually over 23 degrees Celsius in the summer.

Many people think the windy bay is all there is to Pissouri, but 3km up the road is the village of Pissouri. As far as the kitesurfing is concerned, generally, the water is choppy, though the bay is more protected from wind-driven swell, as the wind is lighter. But for advanced kiters, they only need to go out past the wind line for full force wind, and awesome jumping conditions.
