The legendary hero is thrown directly to the enemy, sailed their boats to the shore, a huge stone, which is why this area and became known as Petra tou Romiou - the stone still dominates the sea water.

But there is another, more romantic legend associated with this coast, which has another name - the birthplace of Aphrodite, or Rock of Aphrodite. According to legend, this is where a great Greek goddess, born of the sea foam, came to earth. Not without reason one of its names - Cyprida.
