Petra tou Romiou (Aphrodite's Rock)

Highlight • Natural Monument

"The gigantic rock formations at this location also appear in another, somewhat more recent legend, according to which the rock formations were heaved to this location by the Byzantine hero Digenis Akritas to keep the Saracens from the north of the Arabian Peninsula away (7th-10th century). The name Petra tou Romiou (Greek 'Rock of the Greeks') comes from this very hero."

March 17, 2024,Rund um den Aphrodite Felsen

Today we took the bus from Paphos to Aphrodite Rock. This is where the goddess of beauty is said to have been born from sea foam. The hike took us along different paths to beautiful panoramic views.
