Just above Pano Platres, a short path drops through greenery to Myllomeris Falls, where water spills some 15 metres down a mossy rock face — the tallest natural waterfall on the island, and an easy add-on to a day in Troodos.

What you'll see

  • The roughly 15-metre Myllomeris Falls, tallest in Cyprus
  • The cool, fern-lined ravine around the falls
  • The nearby Agios Ioannis chapel
  • Easy access from Pano Platres
  • Lush greenery that stays green even in high summer

The walk

From the parking spot a stepped path leads down to the base of the falls in about fifteen minutes; the return is simply the climb back up the same way. Short, shaded and rewarding.

Getting there

Signed from Pano Platres, about 40 minutes from Limassol, with a small parking area near the trailhead. Get directions →

Good to know before you go

The path is stepped and can be slippery, so take care; the falls are fullest in spring. Short enough for families, but bring water for the climb back up.
