Aphrodite's Lagoon 

So much is tied to this magical place, not to mention that the beginning of the stairway to the White Castle is nestled within the glistening waters and hidden groves of the Lagoon itself... 

Hidden among the mountains and embraced by willow trees and whispering waters, the Lagoon of Aphrodite is a place of beauty, peace, and ancient power. Its crystal-clear depths conceal secrets older than memory, and its shores are watched over by the goddess herself. Aphrodite’s presence lingers in the sweet air, in the music that drifts on the breeze, and in the laughter of those who dwell nearby. Visitors speak of warm sunlight, enchanted nights, and the rare honour of being welcomed at her fire. But beneath the still surface lies a gateway to divinity—and perhaps, destiny itself​.
