The Aphrodite Hills Resort owes its name to Greek mythology. According to legend, Aphrodite spent most of the year with Adonis in the Rantidi Forest. A place that probably enchanted the two Greek gods. Today, on the site of Rantidi Forrest stands the 5-star luxury Aphrodite Hills Resort , home to one of the largest and most beautiful tennis facilities in Cyprus. And not only that!
