Paphos Journals

Aphrodites' Birthplace

A June 2006 trip to Paphos by TheMagikarp

Quote: In Greek mythology, Pafos is said to be the birthplace of the goddess of beauty, Aphrodite.

Pafos is a beautiful town in northwest Cyprus. Although it is a favorite tourist destination, it never seems to be as swamped as other parts of the island. Beaches in this area tend to be a little rocky and wavy, but they are very clean. There are many historic sites to visit in Pafos, such as Petra tou Romiou which is where Aphrodite was supposedly born, Adonis' Baths, the Tombs of the Kings, Akamas nature reserve. Latsi, a small village not far from Pafos is famed for its excellent fish taverns, while Poli Chrysochous has excellent campgrounds for forest and beach lovers alike.
