Cyprus:
Did you know that there is a beautiful island called “The Island of Love”? It’s known as the birthplace of Aphrodite in Greek mythology. Swimming around her rock is believed to secure an eternal love.
Amazing, right?
Do you know which island this is?
It is indeed Cyprus.
Cyprus is the third biggest island in the Mediterranean. It’s known as the birthplace of Aphrodite in Greek mythology. Swimming around her rock is believed to secure an eternal love.
It’s also the site of a ship wreck. Cypriot legend claims Aphrodite, the Greek goddess of love, was born and rose from the foam (“afros,” in Greek) near a rock off what’s now Aphrodite’s Beach.
Waves breaking over the rock create pillars of foam that islanders say look just like the goddess herself.
