Geroskipou
Two miles east of Ktima, Geroskipou was on the path of the ancient pilgrims' road which led to the Temple of Aphrodite. Here was the goddess's Holy Garden of Ieros Kypos which was tended by countless maidens  in the ancient days of the cult of Aphrodite.
Pilgrims from Nea Paphos passed through Yeroskipou before reaching the temple of Aphrodite, at Kouklia. Goddess, donations, sacrifies and many other activities in honour of Aphrodite were taken in that place. Even currently a cave in the town is called Bath of Aphrodite.

 In the 11th century, the five-domed Byzantine church of Agia Paraskevi was built, somewhere in the middle of present day settlement. It is also mentioned that at Moulia, a coastal locality of the town, the miraculous icon of Panagia of Khrysorogiatissa was found by the monk Ignatios, who carried it to Rogia mountain from where the monastery took its name.

In 1811 Sir Sidney visited Geroskipou and was so much impressed by the resident Zimboulakis, that he appointed him as a vice-consul of Britain. Zimboulaki, who was born in Kefalonia, settled in Yeroskipou and his duties as vice-consul were to protect the interests of Britain. The house of Zimboulaki where many personalities were hosted, was bought in 1947 by the Department of Antiquities, to be converted into a Folk Art Museum.

Nowadays, Geroskipou is a large modern village which has merged with Paphos. It is the centre of the Turkish Delight industry. The village possesses one of the only 2 five-domed Byzantine churches of Cyprus, Ayia Paraskevi, built in the early 9th century and decorated during the 10th and 11th centuries with frescoes and wall paintings. There are numerous tavernas, coffee shops, banks, supermarkets and other shops in Geroskipou. On the lower slopes of the village, nearer the sea, is Phytos Inn.
