Tourist attraction, across the street is a parking lot where buses stop and drinks and souvenirs are sold.

But it is actually very impressive, a beautiful beach and many people daringly climb up the rocks, some with children, one can only wonder.

According to legend, Aphrodite, the ancient Greek goddess of beauty and love, rose from a shell at this point, in which she was washed up on this very beach during a storm.

The gigantic rock formations at this point also appear in another, slightly more recent legend, according to which the rock formations were heaved to this point by the Byzantine hero Digenis Akritas to invade the Saracens from the north of the Arabian Peninsula (7th-10th centuries). keep away. The name Petra tou Romiou (Greek 'rock of the Greeks') comes from this very hero.
