Aphrodite's Rock is a captivating geological formation situated along the stunning coastline of southwest Cyprus, between Pafos and Limassol. This sea stack is not only famous for its natural beauty but also holds great mythological significance as the alleged birthplace of Aphrodite, the Greek goddess of love and beauty. Legend has it that Aphrodite emerged from the sea foam and was escorted to this very beach on a shell. The area is also associated with the Byzantine hero Digenis Akritas, who supposedly hurled the giant rocks into the sea to protect Cyprus from Saracen Arab invaders. This act gave the site its name Petra tou Romiou, meaning "rock of the Greek." Visitors to Aphrodite's Rock often swim around the rock, believing that doing so three times can bring blessings such as eternal youth, beauty, good luck, fertility and true love.
