Adonis Baths

Last updated

Adonis Baths is a waterfall near Krya Vrysi and Lakkos tou Fragkou. [1] It is located 267 m above sea level. [2] [3] In the north west of Kili village, [4] in the province of Paphos, where Mavrokolympos flows, the waters gather and form a small waterfall. [5] These waters over the centuries eroded the soil and formed a small lake. [6] The recent designation of the site as "Adonis Baths" (distinct from the historically documented "Baths of Aphrodite"), has been introduced by the owner of the surrounding land [7] . This designation does not appear in ancient or medieval sources [8] . The landowner, Charalampos Theodorou, also owns the private company "LOUTRA TOU ADONE LIMITED" [9] . While the river itself is considered public land, access to the site is subject to a fee charged by the company [10] .
