Create an itinerary including Aphrodite's Rock
Legend says that Aphrodite, the goddess of love and beauty, rose from the waves at Aphrodite's Rock on the shore of the Mediterranean Sea. Other legends state that if you swim three times around the rock, you'll be rewarded with eternal youth, beauty, luck, or fertility for life. Either way, if you go for it, apply plenty of sunblock beforehand. Nestled between Paphos and Limassol, far from the city, this pebble-and-stone beach presents one of the top photography spots on the island. The water is significantly colder than at most tourist spots, providing a refreshing break during the hottest months. Planning Kouklia trip won't be overwhelming when you use Inspirock's itinerary maker.

  • Good spot and amazing view. You can walk up the hill To Have a better view. There not much else to do around the area. The bus stop is really convenient and super close.

  • Absolutely come here! I was here earlier in the morning so hardly anyone here. Easy to get to if driving. Lives up to the photos. I didn’t brave the water like some, I personally felt it was quite rough and so I didn’t feel comfortable swimming.
  • One of the best places to visit! It’s not a very crowded beach but rather a gem of nature to see. You can sunbathe, swim, and just watch the waves. Definitely go there
