Black Rocks

On one of the few days in April when the Sun was not yet burning down, I decided to do a Blog about fossilised rocks and minerals. I knew the place from 7 years ago when I first researched the whole coastline down to Kouklia. I left my car parked and did a 5 km walk towards Aphrodite Rock. As I had no camera with me at the time, I had to return this year to do the photos for this Blog.

On the whole stretch of coast line I could find only two places with the typical black rock formations where one can find something. So this is the first one.
