Geroskipou Beach Area
Beach Bar
This is the first of several beach bars along the bay.
Nice!
I think the umbrelllas they have here are very nice.
Towards The Airport
We are heading in this direction. So let's take a walk.
Riccos Beach Bar
After a volleyball court on your left, you will soon arrive at Riccos Bar. It is an oasis of green in a sea of sand.
Legendary Status
To a lot of people, this whole bay is simply "Riccos Beach". But who was he? Well, some years ago this was discussed on our main forum, and it yielded the following information:
In the 70's the beach consisted only of barren rocks and stones. Riccos, a Cypriot war veteran, has taken heart and made his dream of having his own restaurant in this bay come true...making the beach what it is today: a popular tourist beach on the outskirts of Paphos. Riccos has built his own empire with great attention to detail. Today this place is full of charm. Paper airplanes and children's bicycles hang in the trees, colourful tree houses were erected and small dogs and large chickens run through the legs of the guests. Own dogs are not allowed on this beach. On Riccos Beach you can enjoy Cypriot food and cool drinks under large shady trees and quietly admire this unique place. Families as well as groups of young adults visit this place every day. Rightly the unofficial name of the beach is "Riccos Beach".

There are two Blue Flag Beaches in Geroskipou, and as they are right next to each other I thought I would cover both of them in one article. Over the last few years the beaches have had a number of renovations, so come with me as I walk from one end of the bay to the other. Let's see what's been going on.

eBookCyprus Road Trip 01: the Kathikas - Panagia Loop
Let me take you on a journey around the region of Paphos, Cyprus. Starting at Paphos itself, we travel to Akoursos, then Kathikas, Kritou Terra and Simou. We continue past Lasa and Kannaviou, before taking in the delights of Panagia. Getting a bit more adventurous, we visit the abandoned villages of Statos and Agios Fotios, before passing through Choulou, Letymbou and Polemi, and rejoining the main Paphos - Polis road.
The route is suitable for all types of vehicle, and requires no off-roading. The guide contains about 130 photographs including shots of all the road signs you need to pay attention to, as well as some of the highlights you may experience along the way.
There are also several maps which will help you keep your bearings.
You can do this journey in a day, or you can break it up into chunks. You can also do it in reverse, to get some completely different views. It is entirely up to you.
