“Since time began, people have chosen Cyprus as a meeting place. Our ancestors have used our amphitheatres and castles to welcome their friends. Many things may have changed since then, but one thing remains the same: the island still is an ideal place to meet, talk, exchange ideas and above all have fun…!!”
Cyprus may be a small country, but it is a large island with a BIG heart. One that gives its visitors a genuine welcome and treats them as friends. Aphrodite, Goddess of Love and Beauty who was the most ancient goddess in the Olympian Pantheon, emerged from the gentle jade-coloured sea foam at “Petra tou Romiou” also widely known as “Aphrodite’s Rock”, a boulder that juts up from the south coast of Cyprus as majestically today as it did then. In fact, the name “Aphrodite” means “foam born”.
Cyprus is the 3rd largest island in the Mediterranean with spectacular scenery and enviable climate. An island of beauty and a country of contrast with its cool, pine-clad mountains forming a complete scene-change after golden sun-kissed beaches and its tranquil timeless villages being in striking contrast to modern cosmopolitan towns; luxurious beachside hotels and large areas of natural unspoiled countryside.
The island of Aphrodite counts more than 10,000 years of history yet remains eternally young. Cyprus, drenched in sun and mythology, at the crossroads of ancient civilizations had numerous visitors through the years, all of whom left their mark. Some built temples to their Gods, other castles to their Kings, while the Crusaders used Cyprus as a staging post and the pirates for a plunder. Storytellers refer to magnificent royal weddings and incomparable works of art created by its artists. Those who visited Cyprus were enchanted by its beauty since the island’s beauty is the legacy of Aphrodite, Goddess of Beauty and Love.
