Today we decided to see more of the island so drove to Petra tou Romiou, which according to Greek mythology is the birth place of Aphrodite. It's a large rock just offshore from a very pebbly beach, many of the pebbles being quite large and very smooth, and sporting on trend colours like pink and grey.
It's actually kind of interesting how many countries have attractions that are really just giant rocks just off the coast, someone should compile them all in to a book and then maybe make a TV series as well, they could get someone like Joanna Lumley, Michael Palin or Simon Reeves to visit this week's "large rock/arch just off the coast". It could include those rocks we saw in Spain, the 12 Apostles, etc, it would be absolutely fascinating and incredibly educational.
After visiting Cyprus' version of "giant rock just off the coast", our next stop was Coral Beach just north of Paphos, supposedly one of the top beaches in Cyprus, but not really much of a beach by our standards, so from there we returned to the promenade we'd visited the previous day.
Then it was back to our townhouse to watch the sunset from our roof top before heading out for some English style cod and chips (which of course were nowhere near as good as our own flake and chips).
