Hi Richard.
My family and I visit Pissouri around 8 weeks in the year (we own a villa in the bay), and always go to the Wednesday night Cyprus night when it is on. We always go to the Vraka Tavern, because they seem the busiest, have the best location and we are now good friends with the owner and waiting staff. The buffet meal costs about £8 and a carafe of wine is £4.
I believe the Cyprus night starts about mid-May and stops around the October half-term week. Last year we were out during October half-term and they had already stopped putting on the Cyprus night because of (unusually early) storms the previous week.
Also, we have been to the Friday night Cyprus night on occasion, which is in the Vine Leaf Tavern in the bay. This is also pretty good, but then you only have the choice of one restaurant.
If you do visit, be sure to visit some of the other recommended restaurants:- The Hideaway just off the square, The Hill View, Perry's Palm Beach in the bay, Liminaki in the bay and either of the Columbia Beach hotel restaurants. Many of the others are also very good, these are just our favourites.
We think Pissouri is an absolute gem, and can't wait till we can make it our main base when our kids leave home in the UK.
