Cyprus's tallest waterfall plunges 15 meters into a cool pool at the base of a limestone cliff, creating a serene oasis in the Troodos Mountains. This easy 1.2-kilometer downhill walk follows the Krios (Cold River) through lush vegetation before opening to panoramic mountain views and a final wooden platform overlooking the falls. The perpetual water flow, cool shaded environment, and accessible route make it ideal for families and swimmers seeking respite from mountain heat.
Reviews
Lovely shaded walk but quite tricky with elderly parents as some of the track is loose gravel, rocks, tree roots sticking up, quite steep descent/ascent in places and some steps too. They managed it both ways with some help, but took much longer than the suggested time. The waterfall area was beautiful and worth the effort.
Attention! This hike can be a little misleading. The trail starts by taking you through a small forest where the waterfall runs, but it then leads you away from the waterfall and onto a road where you can actually park and walk directly to it. So, if your main goal is simply to see the waterfall, I would recommend driving directly to the waterfall instead of taking this entire hike. You will see the waterfall as part of this trail, but it is only at the very end. This confused us, and we ended up walking roughly twice as far and spending twice as much time as we expected. Also, I would rate this hike as moderate rather than easy, and it takes around 1+ hour, depending on your pace. Just something to be aware of before starting!
