what are the famous scenic spots in Cyprus?

Paphos Paphos

Paphos is a big Gulf city with a long history and a mythical color in Cyprus, which is located in the southwest of the country where it is located. Welcome to the place where Aphrodite (the god of beauty and Cupid in Greek mythology) appeared. In the 12th century BC, the Mycenae once set up a temple for her. Therefore, a big bay city in the southwest of Cyprus has always been known as "Cupid Resort".

The seashore of Paphos is rough and steep, and a group of awkward huge rocks stand, some like stalactites breaking through the sea level, and some like giant mushrooms standing in the water. The big one is about 3 meters wide, and this group of big stones is called "Romeo", which means "rock" in the original Greek text. It is in the seawater foam around here that Cupid Avelot Dite rises, so the group of big stones is also called "Cupid Rock".

Cape Greco, greco

Cape greco is a Cypriot national park with many natural caves and wonderful rocks. The scenic spot is located between Ainapa and Budalas, and the sea surface is clear and green, and the nearby rocks are very suitable for the plunging area. With its stunning scenery, this is the popular destination of wedding photography. Two natural rock bridges stand tall, showing the appearance of soft rocks after years of abrasion on the sea surface.

Ainapa AyiaNapa

Ainapa is famous for its long and magnificent sea area, which is famous not only in Cyprus, but also in all European Mediterranean. On the beach, soft white gravel and clear sea water blend together, which is memorable. Come here to feel the unique charm of the Mediterranean, I think everyone is not easy to be chilling.
