Chantara Waterfall

Secluded multi-tiered forest cascade in a tranquil ravine near the pottery village of Foini.

A hidden natural jewel tucked away in the Troodos foothills. Fed by the Dhiarizos river tributaries, Chantara tumbles in three picturesque tiers over volcanic rock.

Encircled by wild strawberry trees and fragrant pines, it remains far less frequented than Caledonia, offering peace and quiet.

Tips before you go

  • Combine with a visit to traditional pottery workshops in Foini village.
  • The 1.5 km dirt track from Foini is unpaved but manageable at gentle speed.
  • Bring a flask and snack to enjoy the peaceful wooden viewing platform.

How to get there

1.5 km northeast of Foini village along a signed country track.
