Caledonia Waterfall

Shaded forest trail along a mountain stream near Platres. Full cascade in spring and cool pine air.

One of the finest forest walks in the Troodos Mountains. The trail follows the Kryos Potamos stream under dense pines and plane trees.

For a shorter walk, park near the Psilo Dendro trout farm and reach the waterfall in 20–25 minutes.

Tips before you go

  • Arrive before 10:00 on weekends to find a spot at the trailhead.
  • Wear grippy sneakers — the rocks near the cascade are slippery.
  • Combine with lunch in Pano Platres 5 minutes away.

How to get there

Take the B8 road from Limassol to Pano Platres and follow signs to Psilo Dendro.
