The Summary

The old goddess of Aphrodite was born in the waters just on the shore of Cyprus back in ancient times. Today Cyprus has become one of the big charter travel destinations of Europe - so is Aphrodite long gone from the island lost forever - or are there still some trail left behind of the ancient goddess hidden somewhere where the big hotels do not reach her. I will go out looking behind every little rock on the island to figure out if she is still alive out there somewhere hidden away.
