About This Attraction

Paphos Cyprus

Aphrodite's Rock, known locally as Petra tou Romiou, is a significant landmark located on the coast near Paphos, Cyprus. According to Greek mythology, it is the birthplace of Aphrodite, the goddess of love and beauty. Visitors can view the rock formation from the nearby beach, which offers beautiful views and a chance to swim in the crystal-clear waters. Although there are no specific Aphrodites Rock opening hours, it is accessible to the public at any time.

Parking is available nearby for those arriving by car, and there are walking paths that allow visitors to explore the surrounding area. The site lacks extensive facilities, so it is advisable to bring water and snacks if you plan to stay for an extended period. There are also legends associated with the rock that suggest swimming around it brings good luck or eternal beauty. However, visitors should exercise caution as the sea can be rough.
