Over The Road to Pissouri

From the grey skies of Wales to the sun-drenched coast of Cyprus, this is the true story of one couple’s journey to start a new life in the Mediterranean. Honest, heartfelt, and often humorous, this memoir follows Rob and Mandy as they trade routine for adventure, navigating the challenges and joys of moving abroad. From first impressions and fact-finding trips to hailstorms, new friendships, and fresh starts, this is a warm and personal account of discovering home in an unexpected place.”

2015 : Sunshine, Storms & Secret Santas

Join us for another sun-drenched, laughter-filled year on The Road to Pissouri. In these two vibrant chapters, 2015 unfolds with its usual blend of adventure, celebration, and unexpected twists. From bursting water mains and muddy racecourses to seaside weddings and birthday cakes in football stadiums, life in Cyprus is anything but quiet. You'll meet old friends, welcome new faces, and tag along on day trips to harbours, mountain villages, chocolate festivals (some sweeter than others), and even the race track in Nicosia. There are rooftop parties, seaside dinners, rock ‘n’ roll shows, starlit concerts, surprise storms, and heartfelt moments with family—both near and far. Whether it's celebrating new life in South Wales or dancing the night away under the stars in Pissouri village square, every moment is shared with warmth, humour, and a love for good company. So grab a drink, settle in, and enjoy the next chapter in this unique journey through everyday life, extraordinary friendships, and the simple joy of making memories on The Road to Pissouri.

2014 : Sun, Souvla & Surprises

In this vibrant Episode of The Road to Pissouri, 2014 springs to life with all the charm, chaos, and character of a year well lived. Follow our narrator on a journey that spans continents, seasons, and unforgettable moments—from the flooded streets of Surrey to the icy avenues of New York City, and on to the sun-soaked Caribbean aboard a Royal Caribbean cruise. Back in Cyprus, life never slows. There are beach boot camps with the infamous Pissouri Nutters, dramatic runs through mud and fire, sizzling barbecues under the stars, and unforgettable nights of music and dancing in the village amphitheatre. You’ll join the fun at bustling tavernas, get swept away by tribute acts that would make Freddie Mercury and Barry White proud, and even catch a few strawberries with local horses along the way. The second half of the year turns the dial up with surprise fashion shows, starlit beach parties, winery tours, and a magical wedding celebration that includes Greek dancing and a soul-stirring performance by the Military Wives Choir. From Thessaloniki’s historic streets to wild go-kart races, sunset cruises, and early Christmas feasts, every page is packed with friendship, laughter, and just the right amount of mischief. Narrated with warmth, humour, and a twinkle in the eye, these chapters are a heart warming snapshot of community, adventure, and the joy of simply making memories—wherever the road may lead.

2013 : Kites, Crisis, and Cousins Getting Married

Join us for a sun-soaked, laughter-filled journey through life in Cyprus in 2013. In The Road to Pissouri, we follow the highs and lows of island living—from hypnotists and hillside hikes to economic crises and drag queens with better legs than most of us. We kick off with petrol strikes, snow in the mountains, and birthday surprises (complete with violins). We move through community spirit in the face of financial turmoil, celebrate weddings and anniversaries, and dance our way through rock ’n’ roll nights and Morris dancing mayhem. We also brings the heat—both from Cyprus' fiery summer and the international headlines, as global events ripple through this peaceful paradise. There’s also spice (from Indian food), sparkle (courtesy of Miss Debonair), and sentiment (a Welsh wedding to remember). From karaoke nights to earthquake tremors, this is a slice of expat life told with warmth, wit, and plenty of souvla.
