Pissouri sits roughly halfway between Limassol and Paphos, and it has an advantage neither of them can match: at about 35 kilometres from the port it has the shortest road leg of any established British village in Cyprus.
The settlement is really two places. Pissouri village sits up on the hill around the old square, and Pissouri Bay lies below it on the coast, with a steep road connecting the two. Which of the two you are moving to changes the job.
The British community here is long established and year round rather than seasonal. The Akrotiri peninsula and Episkopi lie right east, which brings a steady flow of service families and people who stayed on after a posting.
Because the port is close, goods can clear and deliver quickly once the container lands. There is no long inland haul and no second day of transport.
A UK shipment reaches Cyprus as a third country import. Used personal belongings still qualify for relief from duty and VAT where you are moving your normal residence, declared on form Aπ. 2.
Chapter and verse on the conditions is on the Cyprus customs and transfer of residence page. Verify the current rules with the Department of Customs and Excise for the current position rather than a removals page.

About 35 kilometres, which is the shortest road leg of any established British village in Cyprus. Goods clear and deliver quickly once the container lands, with no long inland haul and no second day of transport.
The village, mostly. The road down to the bay is steep and winding, and deliveries there are usually transferred to a smaller vehicle at the top. The newer developments around the village have driveways and turning space.
Some have long, steep private drives. A photograph of the approach sent with your enquiry lets the moving company bring the right vehicle first time instead of discovering the problem on the day.
Yes. Episkopi village and the Akrotiri peninsula lie right east and are served on the same route, along with Avdimou, Anogyra and the hill villages either side of Pissouri.
It depends on volume, not on distance. Anything over about fifteen cubic metres usually justifies a dedicated container. Below that a part load costs less, and the short road leg here means you lose little time either way.
Usually. Storage at either end is a common request when a completion date slips. And it is worth raising at the quote stage rather than once the goods are already at sea.
