Geroskipou Shrine Caves Revisited
We recently went down to Geroskipou Shrine Caves to report on the Neapolis which was being built in the area. While we were there we revisited some old haunts and made some new discoveries.
Geroskipou Treasures
We begin our adventure high above the fields of Geroskipou, looking towards the ridge of cliffs which form a natural boundary between town and country, for now at least. I took this shot because it shows three interesting features of the area. In the distance, you can see Millo's Tower. In front of that, at the top of the cliff, is a rather large statue of Aphrodite. Finally in the foreground, is a mysterious cave.
Actually, it's not that mysterious in reality. I visited it a few years ago and there was nothing particularly interesting about it. But if you didn't know that...
Shrine Caves Trail
From that viewpoint we turned left towards the shrine caves themselves. There is a very nice linear walk here.
The Shrine Caves
And here are the Shrine Caves themselves. Well, some of them anyway. For more information, check out the Geroskipou Shrine Caves film I recorded a few years ago.
Interesting
The drone also highlighted this interesting relic of a building on the other side of the Shrine Caves. But enough aerial shots. Let's go and take a look on foot.
Park Here
At the moment, if you want to visit the Shrine Cave Area, you need to find this staircase. Don't worry, the next picture is a map showing you where it is.

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.
