Petra tou Romiou, also known as Aphrodite's Rock, is a large rock in the sea off a pebble beach near Kouklia, about 22 km southeast of Paphos on the coast road towards Limassol.

In Greek mythology this is where Aphrodite rose from the sea foam. The beach is open to visitors, and the rock is a common stop for people driving between the two towns.
