Welcome to Random Wiki of the Day, your journey through Wikipedia’s vast and varied content, one random article at a time.
The random article for Wednesday, 20 November 2024 is Aphrodite Hills.
Aphrodite Hills Resort is a coastal resort in the Paphos district of Cyprus. The resort is named after the goddess Aphrodite and is 1 mile (1.6 km) away from Aphrodite's Rock.
The facilities are built across two plateaus divided by a ravine. It is designed to resemble a historic Mediterranean town with Greco-Roman architecture featuring locally quarried stone. The town square had been built to replicate a local plateia and has a market, restaurants, souvenir shops, a chapel, gardens, fountains, and an art gallery. The resort also has a spa, golf course, and leisure facilities.
In 2020, Aphrodite Hills hosted the Cyprus Open and the Cyprus Showdown, two back-to-back one-off European Tour golf tournaments added to fill the 2020 season schedule as many regular tournaments were cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
