Enchanting view of Aphrodite Bay, known as Petra tou Romiou (Rock of the Greek), one of the most mythical and photographed places in Cyprus. According to Greek legend, from these turquoise waters emerged Aphrodite, the goddess of love and beauty, born from the sea foam. The majestic limestone sea stacks rise from the crystal-clear waters creating a landscape of extraordinary beauty, while the white pebble beach curves gently along the coast. This site, located along the coastal road between Paphos and Limassol, is considered one of the most romantic places in the Mediterranean, a destination for couples from around the world who come to celebrate love.
