Whatever time of day you visit Aphrodite's rock, you are in for a beautiful view. Around August/September the sun sets behind the rocks in the direction of Paphos- Take you camera, its stunning.

Nice area for sunbathing. Beach is mainly pebbles but a good sheltered area for swimming. Direct access by bus No. 631.
