Pissouri
A pebble-and-sand bay between cliffs, halfway between Limassol and Paphos.
Pissouri Bay, closed in by the cliffs of Cape Aspro, faces south and gets the south-west and west storms. It has a sand-and-pebble bottom and short but punchy waves.
It's one of the wave-richest bays on Cyprus's south coast.
