Tourist Train Planned for Geroskipou to Boost Local Tourism

The Municipality of Ierokipia, particularly Geroskipou, is planning to implement a tourist train that will connect the coastal area with the center of the Municipality. The aim is for tourists to get to know the historical monuments and points of interest of Geroskipou, beyond the beach, which is the main attraction. The train is already in Cyprus and the Municipality is working on the terms of cooperation with the private importer. Deputy Mayor Andreas Siekkis emphasized the need for a restart of the Municipality, as there has been a lack of projects and initiatives in recent years. Attracting tourists to the beach is important, but the Municipality wants to fully exploit the potential of the area, promoting the other attractions as well. At the same time, the Municipality is planning financial incentives for shop owners in the area, so that they can upgrade their businesses and create new catering and entertainment spaces for tourists. The creation of traditional cafes and coffee shops is one of the proposals. The implementation of the train is expected to give new momentum to Geroskipou and contribute to the development of the local economy. The municipal authorities believe that this initiative will offer a complete tourist experience and highlight the cultural heritage of the area.
