Geroskipou Beach Area
Sea View
We've lived in Cyprus for 7 years now, and in that time I have heard several reports of the impending demise of Riccos Beach Bar. Yet it is still here, and still packing them in. The chickens are still here too!
Bits of it have been modernised, but it still manages to maintain its charm.
Chill Zone
In the last few years some more Beach Bars have sprung up further down the bay. They are both very nice, but very different to Riccos. So be sure to try all of them!
Moving On
So let's continue up the beach and investigate further. The sun shades will inform you, if you weren't aware, that you are in Geroskipou now, which is distinct from Paphos City. There are big plans for Geroskipou in future, including Business Parks and Universities. Indeed, if you should drive through some of the fields, and be a bit perplexed by the high quality of the highways (there are several new roads), then that, I think, is why. Rather sensibly, they are improving the infrastructure before constructing the new buildings.
Riccos Bar From The Road
Oh, before we go any further I should point out where Geroskipou Beach is. Basically it is at the Eastern end of the Hotel Strip. If you follow the road past all the hotels, it eventually turns inland. Almost immediately you hit a roundabout. Take the second turn here and you will soon be on this road.

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.
