We hired a driver and asked to head to the northwestern shore of Cyprus, to visit the legendary Baths of Aphrodite. According to Greek legend, Aphrodite would bath in the spring of this small grotto and, one day, met her lover Adonis when he stopped here while out hunting. Read on!

Neither Aphrodite nor Adonis were there, today, but we enjoyed visiting this peaceful spot hidden deep within the coastal forest. Our driver also stopped at some other highlights – including a wine-tasting stop at winery in the hills, two picturesque harbors, and a series of natural shapes and caves carved by the sea.

I’ve shared more photos and videos in the gallery.
