Aphrodite's Rock



Here we are at Aphrodite's Rock, where Aphrodite was born in the foam and became the Goddess of Love and Beauty. (The 3 rocks in the distance are the actual place). We had joined a bus tour to Pafos, the largest town in Cyprus. On the way we saw more ancient settlements, tombs, catacombs, churches and Roman ruins. Pafos is a port city, and was definitely a tourist trap. It is amazing to see where the legends of the Greek and Roman God's originated centuries ago. It all seems to make it a bit more real, not like the legends we read at home.
