Pissouri’s administrative area is the third biggest in Limassol District. It is located in the western cost of Limassol 3km away from the bay named Cape Aspro(white). The name of the village stem from the fact that in the region there was an extensive extraction of skin-sap from pine trees (called 'pissa' in Greek). The skin-sap production begun during the Byzantine Empire, continued during the Middle-Ages and the Frankish era in Cyprus (1192-1489).Pissouri has an annual rainfall in the order of 447 millimetres. Local products nowadays are tabled grapes, wine, potatoes and other citrus fruits in smaller quantities planted across the valley spanning from the gulf to the hill, where the settlement is. There are also many olive, carob and almond trees. Unfortunately, during the last years, farmers had to eradicate big part of their vineyards, as they became profitless. During the last decade, and in particular the last 6 years, the residents have shifted to alternative financial resources with a better interest profit. Most of them have extensively dealt with buildings' construction and specifically with the erection of numerous residential places and new neighbourhoods. It is a matter of time before the village becomes literally autonomous in terms of services and facilities found locally. Pissouri seems to evolve rapidly, following the trends of the globalisation and global investments.#cyprus #limassol #pissouri #villages #holidays #summer
