A low sun slices across the Mediterranean as the coast slips past the bus window—limestone cliffs, scrubby maquis and the pale curve of sand at Petra tou Romiou where, legend says, Aphrodite rose from the foam. The morning stop lets travelers stand beside the wind-polished rock and feel the surf dare the shoreline, an elemental welcome before the trip pushes west toward the Akamas Peninsula.
