Fascinating Fossilised Rocks Near The Sea

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.
Crystal Veins
Nearly down to the watch tower at the beach is this huge Rock with little caves.

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.
