Petra-tu-Romiou - one of the most picturesque places in Cyprus. From the rock opens such a wonderful view that for a reasonable person eclipses all legends and tales that go about the cape. However, for all other romantics, the fact that according to tradition it was at the foot of the rock Petra-tu-Romiou was born from the sea foam beautiful Aphrodite.

The same legend says that if lovers swim in these waves, they will never part again . This is enjoyed with pleasure and to this day, organizers of wedding ceremonies and honeymoons.

Interestingly and the origin of the name of the rock. Petra-tu-Romiou (the "rock of the Romans") refers us to the legendary hero of Byzantium, Deigenis Acritus, who was half Greek (Romaeus), and half Arab (hence his name is Degenis, which means "two-born"). So, it is believed legends, Digenis famously threw off the mountains of Troodos rock in the direction of the Saracens invading Cyprus. The legend, and the neighboring rock with the name of Saracenka, echoed the legendary Pyotr-Tu-Romiou rock.

Popular entertainment among the aphroditic fans is the bathing around the so-called Greek stone.

The place where the sea of Aphrodite came out of the foam is very popular among tourists, but here swim away there is not recommended. The sea in the outskirts of Petra-to-Romeu is dangerous, you can not climb onto the rock, so most of the travelers are limited to a five-minute photo shoot. The smaller part hastens to "eat" what they saw in a nearby restaurant and buy souvenirs and a tourist pavilion in the neighborhood.

Popular entertainment among the aphrodisiac fans is the bathing around the so-called Greek stone. It is shallow, so even bad swimmers will not be scared, the only thing is take the sneakers, the bottom is rocky. So, if you believe the next legend, women should swim around the stone to rejuvenate, men - to become invincible, and lovers - to never part.

Address: 15 km southeast of Pafos along the B6 highway.
