Caledonia Waterfalls
Καταρράκτης Χαλεδονίων
A waterfall about 12 m high in the Troodos Mountains, reached along a wooded valley trail; the island's most popular hiking route
Caledonia Waterfalls lie above Platres and stand about 12 m high, making them one of Cyprus's tallest waterfalls. The classic route descends about 3 km from the Troodos direction along the Caledonia Nature Trail, crossing the stream several times and passing through plane and black pine woodland. From the Platres side, it is also a short walk of about 15 minutes. The gorge stays cool in summer, so wear non-slip shoes, and the water flow is greatest in spring.
