Iconic shaded mountain path following the Kryos Potamos stream over wooden footbridges to Caledonia Falls.
The Kalidonia Nature Trail is among Cyprus's most beloved walking paths. Starting from the Psilo Dendro trout farm near Platres, it meanders gently uphill alongside the crystal-clear Kryos Potamos stream.
The trail crisscrosses the babbling waters via wooden bridges, ascending beneath towering black pines and plane trees toward the dramatic cascade of Caledonia Waterfall.
Take road B8 from Limassol up to Pano Platres, then follow signs to the Psilo Dendro trailhead.
