Join Take Me To Europe Tours for a 7-night, 8-day tour of Western Cyprus and travel in the footsteps of the Greek goddess Aphrodite.
Cyprus is the island of love, the birthplace of the goddess Aphrodite. You’ll find her presence lingering on the beach where she came ashore, naked, carried by the seafoam, in the pools below the waterfalls in the forest where she met her lover, Adonis, and in the sanctuaries where she was venerated.
Western Cyprus includes the Republic of Cyprus’s wildest and most unspoiled landscapes and its most significant UNESCO World Heritage sites. It also bursts with charming villages, painted monasteries, and wineries in the Troodos Mountains.
It is truly a Mediterranean island fit for a goddess.
