Aphrodites Rock
Aphrodite's Rock Paphos Cyprus
by Adelheid Smitt

Sunset at this well known spot on the West coast of Cyprus. According to legend it is where Aphrodite was born out of sea foam. I was glad to be here out of season. For one it keeps the sunset closer to the rock, and more importantly, a cold February day does not bring out many tourists.
