Some more Cyprus landscapes

Panos Kazanelis · Jul 25, 2005

Birthplace of Aphrodite, 25km east of Pafos.
According to legend, Aphrodite goddess of love and beauty rose from the waves in this strikingly beautiful spot. The Greek name, Petra tou Romiou 'The Rock of the Greek' is associated with the legendary frontier-guard of Byzantine times Digenis Akritas, who kept the marauding Saracens at bay with amazing strength. It is said that he heaved this large rock into the sea destroying the enemy's ship.

Cyprus is a land of great myths and landscapes to support them...
