Geroskipou Shrine Caves Revisited
Kiddies' Play Area
They've been renovating the Shrine Caves for a while now, and one of the benefits has been this children's play area.
Cave Area
Most of the caves are past the church. These are all fairly shallow, in that they don't go far into the rock. However, there are a couple of fenced off holes which go all the way to the centre of Geroskipou. I read somewhere that the fences were there because the air in the longer caves was not good.
Anyway, this article isn't supposed to be about the Shrine Caves. I want to explore the surrounding area a bit. So let's head back to that interesting building.
More Caves
On the way though, I couldn't help but notice that these caves looked a lot more clear and accessible now. Was this part of the Shrine Cave renovation?
Somebody had obviously been clearing the area around the path, as evidenced by the binbags.

Geroskipou Neapolis Is Coming

At the time we were interested in a necropolis that was hidden in the woods there. Now, in 2025 they appear to have started construction, so we took the drone down to see what was happening.
St George's Church and Shrine Caves
Near the shops on the Paphos / Geroskipou border, is a little track that runs below a cliff through some farmland. A sign indicates that there is a church down there, so one day I thought I would investigate. Sure enough, there was a little church, but there was so much more besides...Related Pages

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.
