Petra tou Romiou, also known as Aphrodite’s Rock, is one of Cyprus’ most iconic landmarks, located near Kouklia in the Paphos region. According to Greek mythology, this striking sea stack marks the birthplace of Aphrodite, the goddess of love and beauty, who is said to have risen from the waves at this very spot. Surrounded by crystal-clear waters and dramatic coastal scenery, the site offers breathtaking views of the Mediterranean, especially at sunrise and sunset when the light creates a magical atmosphere. The beach itself is a mix of pebbles and fine sand, and while swimming around the rock is believed to bring eternal beauty and luck, the waters can be rough and are best admired from the shore. Easily accessible along the coastal road, Petra tou Romiou is not just a place of legend but also a perfect stop for travelers seeking stunning photography, a touch of mythology, and the natural beauty that defines Cyprus.

Oleastro Olive Park and Museum

Nestled in the countryside of Anogyra, Oleastro is more than an olive oil press — it is a celebration of Cyprus’ ancient olive-growing tradition. For thousands of years, the olive tree has been a symbol of life and prosperity on the island, and at Oleastro, that heritage continues with a focus on organic cultivation and sustainable methods. Visitors can explore the small museum, learn about the history and symbolism of the olive tree, and see how modern technology blends with age-old practices to produce award-winning organic olive oil. The experience is completed with a guided tasting, where guests sample a variety of Oleastro’s fresh, aromatic oils — each reflecting the purity of the Cypriot land and its timeless connection to the olive.
