Aphrodite’s
mythical birthplace ‘Petra tou Romiou’ is an interesting geological
formation of huge rocks along one of the most beautiful coastlines on
the island, located on the southwest coast of the Pafos (Paphos)
district, in Cyprus.
According to the legend, the Ancient Greek
Goddess of Love and Beauty - Aphrodite - was born of the sea foam here.
Legend tells that she rose from the waves and was escorted on a shell to
this particular beach.
It is said that in certain weather
conditions, the waves rise, break and form a column of water that
dissolves into a pillar of foam. With imagination, this momentarily
looks like an ephemeral, evanescent human shape. Other popular myths
tell that swimming around the rock three times will bring various
blessings, including eternal youth and beauty, good luck, fertility and
true love.
