... and Cythera in Greece were the prominent places where Aphrodite was worshiped. The Roman goddess, Venus has quite often been related to the Greek goddess, Aphrodite. One of the most powerful among the various Greek Gods and Godesses, Aphrodite had the charm and elegance, which she used, to get whatever she wanted.

I don’t regret seeing this improvement, because it is really a lovly spot, making the city of Larnaca more beautiful.
