CYPRUS
Rising up from the sparkling blue of the Mediterranean Sea, the white foam crashes around the rock formations in southeast Cyprus. The Petra tou Romiou (Rock of the Roman) marks the spot where the foam birthed Aphrodite, goddess of love and passion, naked and fully formed, as depicted in the famous painting of Botticelli. In Greek, ‘αφρός’ (afros) means foam, which is how Aphrodite got her name from the word and her life from the waves.
Above this beach, which is a world heritage site, modern golf heaven meets a dreamy resort, and births the Aphrodite Hills.
