Aphrodite's Roadworks in 2025
Firm Foundations
It is interesting to see that they are working slightly in from the cliff in this phase. I wonder if they will also be laying any drainage pipes? A lot of the erosion is down to uncontrolled excess rainwater, so it would make sense to manage that while constructing repairs.
To The Rock
Anyway, that's how Phase 2 is progressing. They are digging a big trench. I could leave the article there, but as I was at the famous rock, it would have been rude not to photograph it...
Whenever I post an article, film or photograph of the famous rock, somebody always comments "it is actually the one behind it". Frankly, nobody cares. People like the big rock. Deal with it.
Parking
To get to the rock, you should park at the restaurant on the opposite side of the road. There is a tunnel that goes under the B6 to the beach area. You can see the start of it in this picture. If you are following signs from Paphos or Limassol by the way, look for "Petra Tou Romiou". That is the proper name for the area.
Beach Area
There is a beach at Aphrodite's Rock but it is pebbly. So don't expect to be able to make sandcastles. It is perfect for making a heart shape and spelling DL 4 AL in pebbles though, or something similar.

Aphrodites Rock B6 Road Repairs
In 2019 a section of the B6 road near Aphrodite's Rock was closed for repairs. Since then, in order to get to Pissouri, you need to take the motorway. We are happy to report that repair-work to the road is well underway. We took our drone so we could film what challenges the workers were having to overcome.Related Pages

The B6 runs from Paphos to Limassol, and used to be the main way of travelling between the two cities before the construction of the A6 motorway. The area between Aphrodite's Rock and Pissouri was closed in 2019 due to instability of the land. They finished phase 1 of the repairs and it re-opened for a time, but now it is closed again. The other day we visited the site to see how far Phase 2 had progressed.

eBookCyprus Road Trip 01: the Kathikas - Panagia Loop
Let me take you on a journey around the region of Paphos, Cyprus. Starting at Paphos itself, we travel to Akoursos, then Kathikas, Kritou Terra and Simou. We continue past Lasa and Kannaviou, before taking in the delights of Panagia. Getting a bit more adventurous, we visit the abandoned villages of Statos and Agios Fotios, before passing through Choulou, Letymbou and Polemi, and rejoining the main Paphos - Polis road.
The route is suitable for all types of vehicle, and requires no off-roading. The guide contains about 130 photographs including shots of all the road signs you need to pay attention to, as well as some of the highlights you may experience along the way.
There are also several maps which will help you keep your bearings.
You can do this journey in a day, or you can break it up into chunks. You can also do it in reverse, to get some completely different views. It is entirely up to you.
