The "Petra Tou Romiou" (Rock of the Greek), or the Rock Of Aphrodite (as known in English), is a scenic place, located off the old Pafos-Lemesos road. Digenis Akritas, a legendary Greek hero, threw a large rock to the Saracen ships to secure Cyprus from them. This rock today stands as the Petra Tou Romiou leading to the above translation as the Rock of the Greek. It is said that this is the place that Afrodite, the goddess of love and beauty, was born, and arose thought the white sea-shore foams.
