The island of Cyprus is an ideal place for a relaxing holiday with excellent boutiques spas and magnificent natural beaches. The Rock of Aphrodite is a major tourist destination of the Cyprus. With a breathtaking view of the sea, it is considered to be the birthplace of the goddess Aphrodite.

The Rock of Aphrodite is a cluster of small and big rocks, almost near to the beach. There are several versions of the story of the Aphrodite’s birth, but the most famous legend is that the goddess of love and beauty, rose from the waves in this beautiful spot. This myth is, of course, most memorably depicted in Botticelli’s Birth of Venus (on display in the Uffizi Gallery in Florence).

The nearby village of Pissouri is with the total population of the area reaching just over 1,000 in the summer – it couldn’t be better for a secluded break. But there is a huge variety of restaurants – typical tavernas, oriental and fish restaurants, where you will involve plenty of wining and dining.
