These rocks are legendary in Cyprus for being the place from where Aphrodite was born. In typical Greek mythological fashion, Zeus had yet another affair and Aphrodite arose from the sea foam (aphros ) from which she gets her name. Indeed, there is even a Greek version of Berocca that is named Aphrosa  for this reason!

It is said that if you swim around the rocks three times you will find your true love… but the water around here is very deep and choppy so you might want to give it a miss if you’re not a strong swimmer. This is also a beach of very large pebbles which are extremely uncomfortable to walk on! I have no clue how Aphrodite could have walked out of this water with any grace or finesse?! tion;
