course
The B6 begins in the urban area of Limassol and runs from here to the west directly on the border with the British military area Akrotiri . Shortly before the Kourion archaeological site , the road enters the military area. It then crosses the administrative headquarters of the two British military bases on Cyprus ( Episkopi Cantonment ) and the town of Paramali , before returning to Cypriot territory at Avdimou . After the town of Pissouri , the B6 meets the south coast of the island , where it passes directly by Petra tou Romiou , a striking rock on the beach and the place where the Greek goddess Aphrodite is said to have landed for the first time according to Greek mythology . That is why this section of the road is particularly popular with tourists. The road then follows the coastline and the A6 , past the town of Kouklia and Paphos airport and through the towns of Timi , Acheleia , Koloni and Geroskipou . Then it reaches the urban area of Paphos and ends in the old town of Paphos on the B20 and B7 .
