Stretching between Paphos town and the airport, Geroskipou Beach, also known as Rikkos Beach, feels open, relaxed, and unhurried. Long and wide, with soft slopes into the sea and open sky above, it offers the kind of space where you can slow down and stay for hours.
Why should you visit Geroskipou Beach (Rikkos Beach)
Geroskipou Beach is designed by nature and shaped by gentle planning. Breakwaters along the shore keep the sea calm, making the water peaceful and safe for slow swimming. The sandy shoreline slopes gradually, with no strong currents and very few rocks to worry about.
The beach is long enough to always find a quiet spot, even on busy days. It has a calm rhythm, with soft waves, wide space, and an open view toward the horizon. From time to time, you may see planes descending toward Paphos airport, adding a quiet sense of movement to the scene.
Facilities here are generous and well spaced. You will find toilets, showers, foot washes, changing areas, sunbeds, umbrellas, and a restaurant, along with several beach bars spread along the shore. Everything is easy to reach without the beach feeling crowded or overbuilt.
There is parking right by the beach and public transport also stops nearby, making access simple. While the water is usually calm, it can sometimes appear slightly murky, and seaweed may gather along the shore. A few stones are mixed into the sand, but they do little to take away from the overall comfort of the place.
This is a beach made for long, easy days, where you arrive without rush, settle in, and let time move slowly around you.
Tangerine Suggests
