Petra Tou Romiou - Cyprus

Over the week that we were in Cyprus we spent most of time visiting the places of interest as suggest by our Loney Planet Guide. Cyprus is not super large island and you can get from one side to the other in a matter of hours.  Rather than a day by day blog, I am going for a place by place entry.

Petra Tou Romiou, but is also more recognisable by it's anglo name, Aphrodite's Rock.  It is said that as the waves break over the rock a pillar of foam is formed with an almost human shape.

 On arrival we parked at the Visitors Pavilion.  From there you walk through a tunnel that runs under the road to the beach.  With good intentions to swim, the water was a little cool for us, but it didn't seem to worry the others happily frolicking around in the clear water.  Apparently this is also a fabulous spot to watch the Sunset.
