As you approach the Neapolis area in Geroskipou you will see it is cordoned off with a "ROAD CLOSED" sign. If you are unsure where this is then take a look at a map we posted on our original Necropolis article.

By a kind twist of fate, the "First Photo" label applies to both blog articles, pretty much, so now you know where I took the picture from. And if you are puzzled about the "Pant Man" and "Shrine Caves" labels, then don't be. We will be returning to them soon.

Sensibly, the first thing they are working on is the infrastructure. If you are at all familiar with Geroskipou you may be aware that the road network further up from here is rather surplus to today's requirements. They have clearly been developing it for a while to cope with future increased traffic. The Neapolis will explain why.

Back in 2019 there wasn't much information on the Neapolis. Now though all that has changed. The Leptos Estate website has a big section on it.

Neapolis is one of the most significant planned mixed use developments of its kind in the Mediterranean and probably in Europe given its size, scope, unique character and eco-smart principles. It involves the development of a truly 21st century city in an area of 1,100,000 sqm with a net buildable area of 777,000 sqm that will combine a wide range of residential product options with a synthesis of key lifestyle enhancing elements, including a leisure & entertainment park, a commercial park, the Neapolis University Campus, a Health Park with a hospital and a wellness centre, an Office Park, a Cultural Park and green parks of 200,000 sqm.

One thing that puzzles me about the Leptos Estate website is this map. According to that, the new city's top border is the road they are currently building.
