After a quick bus ride, we had the opportunity to see Aphrodite’s Rock. As soon as I stepped onto the pebbles leading up to the beach, I took in the beauty of this historical landmark. This didn’t feel like any regular beach, because of the mythological significance it contained. The rocks were enormous in height and length, making them a wonderful sight to behold. After Aphrodite’s Rock, we travelled to Paphos to understand the ancient cultural capital. We went down a set of stairs to an open area with giant pillars. Multiple rooms are connected to the open area with multiple tombs. I was surprised by the size of the tombs, as some of them could fit almost three people. I noticed the symmetrical design of some of the tombs, as well as the intricate layout of others. With the tombs located by the sea, it offers a peaceful and sacred atmosphere for tourists to understand the past of this ancient capital. After viewing the tombs, we took a bus to the House of Dionysus, which was near the Paphos harbor. We saw various Mosaics that depicted scenes from Greek mythology. For example, Mosaics explained Dionysus arriving in a chariot pulled by panthers, or the success of Dionysus over India. Each Mosaic was extremely detailed, from their movements to even their facial expressions, which made it easier to understand the context of each story. It is crazy to think that even in ancient times, people could form beautiful pieces with materials from their time, to easily portray stories. With a hearty appetite, some of my friends went to the harbor to explore places to eat. The harbor was lively, with people full of smiles and laughter, which created a nice atmosphere to explore. After a delicious meal, we went down the entire harbor, making sure to check out each shop. Today was full of amazing views, rich historical culture, and vibrant environments, which leaves me excited for our future adventures!
