Aphrodite's rock is situated in Paphos, on the island of Cyprus.
The Birthplace of Aphrodite is one of the most beautiful beaches near the city of Pafos.
According to local legend, it was on this particular beach - near the temple built at Palaipafos (Old Pafos) to worship her, as early as the Bronze Age, that she arrived, and this is why it is now known as the Birthplace of Aphrodite.
One of these rocks has been named Aphrodite Rock - partly because of the foam that is being formed at its base, which brings in mind the story of the deity’s birth. A local story is that anyone who swims around the rock will be blessed with eternal beauty.
The beach is about a 25 minute drive from the harbour of Pafos and is close to the Sanctuary of Aphrodite, which is part of the World Heritage site. It means it is easy for you to combine a visit to the two locations.
In the myth of Aphrodite’s birth, the beautiful Goddess of Love emerges naked from the water around Cyprus. She had just been created from the foam of the sea caused by Cronus castrating his father Uranus and throwing his genitals into the water. Although Aphrodite had originally begun drifting towards the Greek island of Cythera, the wind blew her towards her spiritual home near Pafos.

According to one legend, this rock is the site of the birth of the goddess Aphrodite, perhaps owing to the foaming waters around the rock fragments, and for this reason it is known as Aphrodite’s Rock.
