Yeroskipou
Just east of Paphos and nearby the mythical "Petra tou Romiou" Aphrodites Rock lies the village of Yeroskipos, a place with a history that dates back to ancient times. Today, the presence of a number of archaeological sites and medieval monuments in the village and the surrounding area provide the evidence for its historical value and turns the place into an interesting attraction for visitors. But what makes the village of Yeroskipou an equally well-known attraction relates to a sweet and tasty product, named here in Cyprus ‘Yeroskipos loukoumia’. Travellers passing through the village, using the old Limassol-Paphos road will certainly come across a cluster of small gift shops along the roadside piled with baskets of colorful boxes filled with loukoumia of assorted flavors.
