Aphrodite's Rock, Cyprus

Aphrodite's Rock Cyprus

Aphrodite's Rock in Cyprus is said to have been the birthplace of the Goddess of Love. Swimming around the rock is not advised as waters can be choppy and surrounding rocks can be risky, but for anyone brave enough legend has it that swimming near the rock will bless you with eternal beauty! However the cove is stunning and the crystal clear waters make for a beautiful day trip. Get there early before the crowds.

Skagen, Denmark
