This weekend we made a had a trip to Paphos, which is supposedly the birthplace of the Greek goodness Aphrodite. Since Aphrodite was said to be the goodness of love and beauty it is said that the water around her sparkles. I must say the rumors were true because this water was absolutely beautiful. With its bright blue turquoise colors and beautiful surrounding rocks, I definitely think this was my favorite part in Cyprus that I have seen so far. Paphos just had such beautiful Mediterranean water, green grass for miles and the cutest little port with boats, restaurants and bars, the whole time I was only wishing we were studying there over Nicosia.
The whole weekend was very enjoyable; we went to a few landmarks of ancient ruins, laid on the beach and ate on the harbor. The weather was awesome as well! However, I did manage to get my first real burn of the year, which was no very fun. I have now learned my lesson for the rest of this trip, that the Mediterranean sun is STRONG. Hopefully when we are back in Cyprus in May we can return to Paphos to do some fun water activities. I will be leaving tonight for a sixteen day trip all over Europe, so this weekend was just a great way to relax before the craziness begins.
