Paphos

Paphos is named after the daughter of Aphrodite and the legendary Greek sculptor Pygmalion and was the capital of Cyprus in Greco-Roman times. Paphos is located at the crossroads of three continents. 25 km east of the island, the mythical birthplace of Aphrodite is located: the "Rocks of Aphrodite", also known as "Petra tou Romiou", taking its name from the legendary byzantine frontier-guard Dighenis Akritas, is a spot of spectacular beauty and one of the most beautiful beaches in Cyprus.
