According to legend, Aphrodite, goddess of love and beauty, rose form the waves in this strikingly beautiful spot. The Greek name, Petra tou Romiou (The Rock of the Greek), is associated with the legendary frontierguard of Byzantine times, Dighenis Akritas, who kept the marauding Saracens at bay with amazing strength. It is said in one such fight he heaved this large rock (petra) into the sea destroying the enemy's ship.
