Due to its geographical location, Cyprus has been at the heart of historical events for many centuries, absorbing and preserving the mysteries of world history. Each of the cities of the island at different times experienced its heyday. For example, if you want to immerse yourself in the world of myths and legends of the ancient period, you should go to Paphos. Most myths connect the appearance of the city with the events of the Trojan War, so the most likely date of birth of the ancient capital is the XIII century BC.
We will make another stop at the famous stone, where, according to legend, the goddess of love Aphrodite came out of the foam of the sea. Local legend says that the wish made in the bay will come true if you swim to a stone towering above the water and round it clockwise.
Also, on the Akamas peninsula, you can go to the baths of Aphrodite. It is a small grotto filled with water, hidden in the shadow of an old fig tree. It was here that the golden-haired goddess appointed secret dates to her young secret lover Adonis. In early spring, when nature wakes up, the fields and valleys of Akamas are covered with scarlet flowers of the “pheasan eye” and blue anemones, which are popularly called “the blood of Adonis” and “the tears of Aphrodite”.
Many people know about the bath of Aphrodite, but not all about the bath of Adonis. In the private territory of a small park there is a gorge along which a stream of water runs, forming two lakes sufficient for swimming and diving depth. Myths connect this place with the beautiful love story of the goddess of beauty and the son of the famous Paphos king Kinir. Recognized by experts as one of the most romantic places in Europe.
