The Cyprus cat is landrace of domestic cat believed to be descended from cats of Egypt or Palestine brought to Cyprus by St Helen to rid the island of snakes and vermin.
They are not afraid of people however they do not like to be touched though.

Aphrodite’s Rock, Cyprus / September 2017
Petra tou Romiou- birthplace of Aphrodite
Legend claims that Aphrodite, Greek goddess of love and beauty, was born from the sea-foam on this pebbly bay, which is dominated by rugged limestone crags rising from the sea. Other myths says these boulders were hurled at the ships of Saracen corsairs by Digenis Akritas, the paladin of the Byzantine frontier.
And rock formations around:
Kolossi Castle, Cyprus / September 2017
Kolossi castle was initially constructed in the 13th century and it was then rebuilt in its present form during mid-15th century. This well admired 15th century castle is situated in Kolossi village, 14km west of Limassol in the south of Cyprus.
During the 13th century, the castle served as the Grand Commandery of the Knights Templar and after the fall of Acre in 1291 the castle served as the headquarters of the knights of the Order of St. John of Jerusalem. The castle todays looks very well and well maintained and looks very similar to a tower, similar to ones found across Europe. It was built with military architecture offering security within the area and resisting any attacks. The castle has a height of 21 meters and each of the castle’s four sides are 15 meters long on the outside and 14 meters on the inside.
There is lovely view on the village from the top 🙂
