Cyprus – the island of Aphrodite
The birthplace of Aphrodite, along with the famous baths and sanctuaries of the goddess, are essential stops for professional archaeologists and dedicated aficionados alike, as are the places of worship devoted to Adonis, the beau idéal of the male form in the ancient greek mind. The itinerary also includes the houses of Orpheus, Dionysus, Theseus and Aion, the ancient amphitheaters, still in use in our times, as well as a number of Byzantine, medieval and other monuments of interest. Meal breaks during the tour will offer visitors a chance to sample delicious national dishes with plenty of locally sourced organic ingredients.
