Promenade next
From the Municipal Baths and to Geroskipou, along the coast stretches a promenade - Coastal Broadwalk. In our opinion, this is the most scenic part of the waterfront. It is here that the waterfront is a narrow landscaped path, near which there is an abundance of cafes and restaurants, close not goes transport, and part of the coastal beach strip lies below the level of the embankment, under a small cliff, which makes this place very picturesque and inviting to leisurely walks along the sea.
