Near Paphos there is a place where, according to legend, Aphrodite had fun with her lover Dionysus and other wonderful men. You can get to Kupala only on foot. It was believed that Aphrodite liked to bathe in the shade of the fig tree and in the thickets of the fern. The water in the pool seems to give eternal youth.

Nobody will take you from the Eurocent and for visiting the lake and Fontana. The average visit takes three hours to complete.
The temple of Aphrodite was built in the village of Kuklia, which is 15 kilometers from Paphos. It was built in the 12th century BC. Homer wrote about the temple in his poems.

Orgies passed precisely in the temple of Aphrodite under the steadfast gaze of the goddess. Many pilgrims came here to take part in the so-called Aphrodisias specially.
Later, the tradition was interrupted by conscientious Christians, and the temple was given to both new converts and earthquakes. So to this day only ruins have survived.

Bath of Aphrodite - a small depression in the rock, a small grotto with a stream streaming from above, which is filled with water at the expense of natural waters about knee-deep. Above the grotto, the old fig tree hangs, clinging to the rock and forming a natural canopy. According to legend, the bathhouse was the place of secret meetings between Aphrodite and Adonis. Needless to say, that every swimmer in the grotto of Aphrodite is guaranteed eternal youth? Some connoisseurs of Greek mythology assure that the meeting of the sweet couple took place ...
