katie, I'm guessing Cyprus!

katie, I'm guessing Cyprus!

Cyprus is not part of Greece, tho.

Cyprus is not part of Greece, tho.

j-s-2...I think your guess is correct.

kyshel....your world geography statement is also correct.

I associate Turkey with Cyprus more than Greece (which is incorrect), but there really isn't a Luxury Link category for destinations like this one. Maybe a new category will eventually be created, such as Mediterranean.

Whoever wins this auction may have an opportunity to taste Hallumi, one of my favorite cheeses

CLUE:


This is the mythical birthplace of Aphrodite, the Greek goddess of love and beauty.

According to Greek poet Hesiod, she was born when Cronus cut off Uranus' genitals and threw them into the sea, and from the aphros (sea foam) arose Aphrodite.
Aphrodite, the Greek goddess of love and beauty was said to be rising from the foam near Paphos, off of the island of Cyprus, not Greece.
Therefore, I assume the mystery property is
Thalassa Boutique Hotel & Spa
Paphos, Cyprus[/B][/B]

And there you have it, the real mystery about this auction is the possibility it is misfiled. Don't jump the gun and buy those air tickets to Athens!

LL_Travelfan, your information explores an entirely new opportunity for katie's future clues. Luxury Travel Destinations associated with castrations. This interesting greek tidbig may be one of the reasons I have never visited Cyprus.
