I can see that CentOS 7 ships with Postgresql 9.2, but I cannot find Postgis in either central repo or epel 7, any solution please? Thanks a lot!

Postgres provide postgres 9.3 and postgis 2.1 for Centos 7. Link here.

I was hoping there was an easy yum path. Seems like this is the only option I have currently. Thanks.

@fengye87, you can simply add postgresql.org's specific repository to your Yum repos. Eliminating manual package install and dependency nightmares which will surely ensue.

@Timusan, yeah, that's what I'm doing right now. I was just trying not to mass up with Postgresql repo like I did under CentOS 6. Still, thanks :)

The link is broken.
As Soni Harriz already mentioned, you can install PostgreSQL and PostGIS from a Postgresql.org maintained Yum repository. Yet, you do not need to manually install each package (that would be a dependency nightmare!). If you go to the PostgreSQL Yum page:
You can select which version you wish to install. At the time of writing, this would be version 9.3, found here: http://yum.postgresql.org/repopackages.php#pg93. And more specifically for CentOS 7 here: http://yum.postgresql.org/9.3/redhat/rhel-7-x86_64/pgdg-centos93-9.3-1.noarch.rpm
This will setup a Yum repository and the needed GPG keys so you do not have to go and manually install the packages. More detailed install/setup information can be found here.
These repositories have a full install script available which will also initiate your cluster.

@MikeT: Correct, the same link was already stated in my answer.
