Aphrodites rock.
Also known as Petra tou Romiou ‘the rock of the greek’ is situated close to Limasol, in between Limasol and Larnaca. It is one of the most picturesque beaches with deep waters and crystal views. Lots of grottoes are in this area as well if you look closely...
People come from all over cyprus to see Aphrodities Rock, Protaras and Ayia Napa area to Limasol, Larnaca and Paphos. Remeber to get from one end of the island to the other it is only about 3hours by car...
A bit of history on Aphrodite, she is the Greek Godess of love and beauty. Legend has it that this rock is the birthplace of here, she is born from the foam of the sea around this rock. that this is the birthplace of Aphrodite. In the past, many people came here to join in the fertillity rituals both here and the nearby temple.
Always a great tourist attraction, the landscape surroudning the rock has a harmony of its own, a landscape that is untouched and the sunsets over here, are set to be one of the most beautiful on the island...
