Review:
Also known as Aphrodite's Rock, Petra tou Romiou is a popular tourist destination because of its importance in Greek mythology as well as its beauty. According to ancient Greek legend, this was the place where the goddess Aphrodite was born out of the seafoam. The pebble beach here is attractive in its own right, but the real attraction is the giant rock formation that protrudes from the waves. The sea is typically too rough to swim in and climbing the rock is not permitted, but the area is well worth a visit simply to admire the natural beauty.
