Petra tou Romiou

Petra tou Romiou (Greek: Πέτρα του Ρωμιού; lit. "Rock of the Roman", that is Eastern Roman or Byzantine, or "Rock of the Greek"), also known as Aphrodite's Rock, is a sea stack in Paphos, Cyprus. It is located off the shore along the main road from Paphos to Limassol. The combination of the beauty o

f the area and its status in mythology as the birthplace of Aphrodite makes it a popular tourist location. The sea in this region is generally rough, persuading tourists not to swim there. It is not permitted to climb the rock. A restaurant, a tourist pavilion and the Aphrodite Hills resort are nearby.
