The Pissouri Amphitheater was constructed in 2000. It features superb acoustics and breathtaking views across Pissouri towards the sea, Akrotiri, and Limassol. It is situated in the middle of the village of Pissouri, just a short distance from the local bars and taverns. It is the ideal location for summertime outdoor gatherings.

The flourmill was built to support villages in the area , by milling the wheat.
Flourmills functioned as the first sample of today’s bakeries. They would
supply the villages in the regions with flour for homes use. This is how the famous
baked goods of Cyprus such as Cypriot pittas and sourdough bread were born.
The Lime Furnace and Gypsum Furnace in the area of Amaxotos provided lime and gypsum.
The difference between limestone and gypsum lies mainly in their composition, and in the
process of their conversion from the form of stones to lime, with limestone needing a higher
firing temperature and gypsum dissolving more easily in water. The service life of the lime
kiln and the plaster kiln was ten years.
The area is located west of Pissouri village on the Limassol-Pafos Road. It features a, bridge
which was built during the Turkish rule. Its name means ‘dark’ and comes from the fact that the
sun set earlier in the area than in other regions. According to one of the many myths surrounding the name of Pissouri village, which means ‘’darkness’’, during the persecution of the Christians many have found refuge in secluded regions such as this one.
1978 elections resulted in Aristides Potamitis assuming the presidency of the Community of Pissouri, which he held until 2001.
Twenty years in a row, he led our community, leaving us fond memories and completing incredible feats. Even though he was somewhat ignorant, he was able to control the Pissouri Community quite successfully and in a way that was acceptable by the entire community. He approached and interacted with the villagers, who cherished him, in a manner that was exceptional.
Prior to accepting the Presidency of the Community, the late Aristides was one of the top executives in the village and participated in the majority of committees, including the SEAP, the Improvement Council, the Ecclesiastical Committee, and others.
This memorial was erected in honour of Neoklis Antoniadis, a Town Leader and significant figure in the history of Pissouri, in recognition of his numerous contributions to the community.
Neoklis S. Antoniadis served as Pissouri’s Community Leader for fifty years, from 1929 to 1981. He was a man of integrity, dignity, and altruism who, by his continuous efforts, works, and the strong support of his fellow villagers, ensured the hamlet of Pissouri’s continued existence and significant advancement for decades. Contrary to other villages in the province of Limassol, the village’s population grew steadily as a result of a particular development. The son of Spyros Antoniadis and Paraskevi, he was born in Morphou.
The Octobriana monument was erected in Pissouri Square in 2016 at the expense of the Association of Expatriates and Friends of Pissouri. Niki Perikleous stated, “As the Association of Friends and Expatriates, we deemed it our duty to create this monument as a return of the least respect and homage to our militant forefathers.” Christodoulos Galatopoulos, a member of parliament, and Ioannis Erotokritos, a respected educator and influential member of the Pissouri community, were the leaders of the 1931 rebellion in Pissouri.

Pissouri is filled with splendour and marvels. It is difficult to determine whether environmental, historical, or religious values should be prioritised. Despite this, the average traveller can cover all directions because there are so many desirable destinations.
