Geroskipou Beaches
Geroskipou is blessed with two fantastic beaches which merge to form a long bay ideal for family days at the seaside. There are four beach bars dotted along its shore, with convenient showers and changing facilities for bathers. Over the last few years it has received some TLC, so let's take a look at how it is in 2024.
Atlantida Tavern
Geroskipou is the town next to Paphos. You might be mistaken for thinking it is actually a suburb of the city, but it is in fact it's own entity. To get to the beaches, go down the Hotel Strip away from the Harbour and you will eventually come to a roundabout. It is just past the Luna Park. Turn right here and you will be at the beach area. For the purposes of this article I parked at the Luna Park. This gave me access to the first of the Beach Bars - the Atlantida.
This article accompanies a film we made. If you would rather see that, use the link below:
Atlantida Beach Bar
As well as the fish tavern there is also a beach bar here. It is also a popular Wedding Venue. Not this bar specifically, but the area.
Towards Paphos
And this is the top end of the beach. They are in the process of clearing away the winter seaweed. In the distance you can just make out a bulldozer. It was loading the detritus onto a truck.
Long Boat
A lot of water activities happen here. I don't mean stuff like hiring a jet ski. I mean education. I saw teachers giving swimming lessons, and kids learning to sail in a yacht. I also saw a group of rowers, who must have been very hot, on this longboat.
Lifeguard Station
The two beaches at Geroskipou both have the coveted blue flag status. One requirement for that is a lifeguard. So there are plenty of them here. Coupled with the artificial reefs, this makes the waters here a very safe place to swim.

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.
