Riccos Beach Area
The other day I went out to photograph some of the beaches around Paphos. We have a beaches directory and I figured it needed some more up-to-date images. However, it soon became apparent that the beaches are still getting prepared for the Summer Season. So while the pictures I took won't be suitable for the directory, I thought you might like to see what's occurring. In this article, we take a look at Riccos Beach Area, in Geroskipou.
Geroskipou Beaches
The area often referred to as Riccos Beach actually consists of two Blue Flag Beaches: Geroskipu Municipal, and Laiki Paralia. In this shot we stand to the East of the beaches, looking West. The beaches themselves have changed quite a bit since I took the photos you see in the directory, so they definitely need updating.
New Taverns
For a start the facilities have all been greatly improved.
Too Early
However, they are still taking the fixtures out of their winter storage.
Gravel Gathering
Moving down the beach, we find some mysterious piles of pebbles.
No Drones
Oh and while I am here, this picture demonstrates why you will never see us publish any drone footage of the area. Its proximity to Paphos Airport makes drone flying strictly off-limits. Even if I wanted to fly it here, my drone would refuse.

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.
