Paphos | Birthplace of the Love Goddess Aphrodite ποΈππ(2)
There are two different shipwrecks near Paphos, and we visited the EDRO III β΅. π₯ Originally a cargo ship, it ran aground in 2011. Since the site is within a natural animal reserve, the local government chose not to remove the wreck, which has since become a somewhat famous photo spot over time. ποΈ I highly recommend visiting in the late afternoon before sunset, as the shipwreck faces west, offering a magnificent backdrop of the setting sun π . The scenery around the shipwreck is equally beautiful. πThe cliffs by the sea are made of white sedimentary rock, glistening golden under the sunset's glow πͺ¨. Near the shipwreck, there's a seaside restaurant called Oniro By The Sea π½οΈπ, which I highly recommend. π Firstly, its location is unbeatable, allowing you to dine with a view of the ocean. Secondly, it's just a stone's throw away from the shipwreck, a minute or two's walk, enabling you to enjoy your meal while waiting for the sunset π½οΈ. π°Most importantly, the food is delicious! I particularly recommend the Seafood Kritharoto and the Mango Passion Fruit Cheesecake π₯. πΉThe prices are on the higher side by Cypriot standards, but if you're coming from London like us, it's quite a bargain. Also, be sure to book a table online in advance! π» It's worth mentioning that the entire city of Paphos is listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, largely due to the Paphos Archaeological Park ποΈ. πHere, you can see many remnants from ancient Greece and Rome, making it well worth a visit. #Paphos #Cyprus #GlobalTravel #SelfDrive
