Finnbarr Webster reporting for www.thetraveltrunk.net<\/span><\/h3>\nHaving not visited Cyprus for well over 20 years I was curious to discover how much I would actually remember. Well, proof of my maleness was confirmed with exactly zero memories awoken!<\/p>\n
This, however, was not necessarily a bad thing and essentially let me see the country as if for the first time.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n5 Star Asimina Suite.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
For me, this was now my first visit and I can tell you now, it will not be my last.\u00a0 Not by a long shot.
I\u2019ve always felt that the most important part of any trip is finding somewhere to base yourself that meets all of your requirements.<\/p>\n
These were completely surpassed with the outstanding Constantinou Bros Asimina Suites Hotel in Paphos.<\/p>\n
5 Star Suites In Paphos<\/span><\/h2>\nThe Constantinou Bros are a well known family run hotel business.\u00a0 Specialising in the adult market with four major properties on the island.
Asimina Suites Hotel is a luxurious 5 star adult-only beachfront hotel featuring 139 suites, and is considered one of the best in Cyprus.<\/p>\n

Landmarks Like \u2018Aphrodite\u2019s Rock\u2019<\/span><\/h2>\nWith such a splendid hotel as my base, it was a push to go out and explore but explore I did, dragging myself away from the many luxuries, I first went to one of the most often visited and most famous of national landmarks, \u2018Aphrodite\u2019s Rock\u2019.<\/p>\n

Reading up prior to going I learnt that in Greek mythology it is the birthplace of Aphrodite.\u00a0 Although like much mythology the details would make your eyes water, so, suffice to say she was born from the foam.
Another myth or local tradition is that swimming around the rock three times will bless you with beauty, eternal youth and true love.\u00a0 But much as I\u2019d like all that I was told the sea here can be deceptive and rough so it is not recommended, hence I will have to forgo eternal youth!<\/p>\n
