This breathtaking scenery not only provides us with the most beautiful scenery, but also the natural geographical form we observe has an underlying story.
The images uploaded above is located near Pafos, in the southwest area of Cyprus. Yes, I know it is a rock, and it is not as amusing to me as I it should; however, if any of you are die hard fans of Greek myths, then I am pleased to inform you that this is the birthplace of Aphrodite. This is a legend and I only came across it through internet research.
The only thing is that the land area is all layered with pebbles... not sand, causing it extremely hard to sit for a long time. In addtion, the water that surrounds the rocks are extremely rough, which means that it is not the best for anyone to swim in it. Speaking of water, according to the Cyprus Tourism Organization, it has been seen by many that in specific weather conditions, the waves paint a certain picture. When the waves rise and then break, a column forms and start to dissolve into a pillar of foam. Then, it just takes a little imagination to see a human shape form!
Without a doubt, this is an extremely popular tourist spot due to legend and without a doubt, because of Aphrodite, Greek Goddess of love, it serves as a location for marriage as well.
Well, how romantic is that?
