Adonis Baths
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
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]
