It is time for the third part of my Cyprus Visual Diary (remember I took you to Latchi and to meet the Cyprus cats). I am taking you on the road between Pafos and Limassol, where many historical treasures await. The most breathtaking being the Rock of Aphrodite, which you access through a dark tunnel under the motorway… Only to emerge on the other side blinded by the beautiful sights. Not unlike being born again. Have a look at the photos below and as usual I selected some addresses and there is a foursquare map embedded at the bottom of the post.
