About Cyprus
The rock, called Petra tou Romiou in Greek, is a large sea stack standing in the waves beside a pebble beach. According to ancient Greek legend, Aphrodite, the goddess of love and beauty, was born from the sea foam at this spot. Visitors still come to watch the sunset here, and a local story says that swimming around the rock brings good luck.
Around Paphos, Roman mosaics and a white lighthouse stand in the archaeological park, and the waves have carved caves and arches into the cliffs. In the Troodos Mountains, made of ancient ocean floor, stone villages such as Kakopetria hide painted Byzantine churches, while Nicosia, the last divided capital in Europe, is ringed by star-shaped Venetian walls.
