This is a series of 3 rocks where Aphrodite was meant to have come ashore. Good access via a tunnel from car park. Can climb around and even swim if want to. Great views

The shore is rocky on the left-u may need a swim-shoe, on the right it is better but still not only sand.

Probably the place that finally helped make the decision to live in Cyprus permanently. This stretch of coastline is beautiful. If you go further up the road to the lay by you'll get great photos looking back down on the actual rock and beach. Beach itself is pebbles. Underpass from 'service area' to beach.
