Die Geschichte von Paphos District

In the Paphos Archaeological Park, the floors of Roman villas are covered with mosaics of gods, heroes and hunting scenes, among the finest in the Mediterranean. Nearby, the Tombs of the Kings are underground burial halls cut into the rock, with columns like houses. East along the coast, the sea foams around Petra tou Romiou, where Aphrodite was born from the waves, and at Kouklia lie the ruins of her great sanctuary. Inland, villages make halloumi and lace, and in late summer an opera is performed in front of Paphos Castle under the stars.

Verborgene Geschichte

Swim three times

Swim around Aphrodite's rock and you stay young – or so they say.

Geschichte lesenSchließen

Local tradition says that whoever swims three times around Petra tou Romiou, the rock where Aphrodite rose from the sea, will be young forever – or find true love. The sea there can be rough, so the safest way to honour the legend is to watch the waves break at sunset.
