It was a night that Koulouris would never forget when he got his first goals for his club, specifically six goals in one match with his first coming from the penalty spot in the 22nd minute, nine minutes after Andreas Avraam opened the score for Anorthosis. Three minutes later Koulouris got his second, giving his team a three-goal advantage and putting the game beyond the visitors' reach. Koulouris completed his hat-trick five minutes into the second half and from then on the home team took their foot off the pedal for almost 20 minutes and added another three goals to his tally in the 73rd, 76th and 87th minute of the game. On 1 November 2015, he scored his first goal in the Cypriot First Division in a 2-1 away win against Pafos FC.

Koulouris made his most mature season of his career (32 appearances in all competitions), with yet another special accolade, as he earned teammates' appreciation as he voted Players' Younger Player of the Year.
