Start of the Aphrodite and Adonis Trails
Legend says Aphrodite bathed here
The story
The Baths of Aphrodite are a natural pool of cool water. Legend says Aphrodite, the goddess of love, bathed here and met Adonis. Don’t drink this water. Two Department of Forests trails start here: Aphrodite and Adonis. Near the start is the small Akamas botanical garden. It brings together the peninsula’s native perennial plants.
