Paphos Beaches
Cyprus is beginning to open again, and so are its beaches. How are they going to cope with social distancing on the sunbeds and the surrounding restaurants? We went out to explore the blue flag beaches that Paphos has to offer, to see what the score was. In Part 1 we go from Geroskipou to the main municipal beach...
Geroskipou Sun
First of all, let's establish a timeline. We took this first set of pictures on Friday 12th June, at around lunch time. We started near Riccos Bar because that was where we began the film we made last year, showing a sped-up walk from here to the harbour. Paphos has a number of Blue Flag beaches along its coast, and two of them are right here.
Laiki Paralia Beach
This is the first beach, and it is pretty empty at the moment. You can see some pictures of it in busier times in our beaches directory. I will include a link below. I will also include the virtual tour so you can have a quick peek without leaving this blog.
Virtual Tour
We did the tour last year before we got our swanky new 360 camera, but you get the picture...
Towards Geroskipou Beach
Sometimes, it is difficult to tell where one blue flag beach ends and the next one begins. There are two along this strip, but at least three banks of sunbeds.
Improved Disabled Access
This is new. I think the only one of these I saw when I first did the beaches directory last year, was near Polis. It is good to see more of them appearing. You can also see the artificial reef in the water. They built these a few years ago and make the coastline a lot safer.

Somebody had been asking about Paphos beaches on our chat group today. Coincidentally, I had been doing some film experiments at Riccos Beach, so was able to rustle up this little clip showing what it looks like. This is the municipal beach in Paphos / Geroskipou.

In our final film of 2019, we thought we would take a drive around the coastline of Paphos to see how it had weathered the recent storms. As you can see, once the sun starts shining again, Paphos looks gorgeous.

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.
