Yeroskipou (Geroskipou)

Once famous for its sacred gardens, dedicated to the Goddess Aphrodite, these days the sleepy village of Yeroskipou (Geroskipou) is best known for its production of Loukoumia, the age-old Cyprian sweet, otherwise known as Turkish delight. The powdered sugar coated candies are traditionally flavored with rose water, but are produced in a myriad of unique flavors and make an ideal souvenir.
Additional highlights of the small town include the 11th-century Church of Agia Paraskevi, celebrated for its medieval paintings and icons; the fascinating Folk Art Museum; the sandy Yeroskipou beach; and the nearby Luna Park amusement park.
