Rating: 4.5

Nice and pleasant trail. It does not take long to get to the waterfall. Though it takes even shorter to get there by car from the other side, as most people obviously do. So be prepared to meet ladies in ﬂip ﬂops and gentlemen with small children on their backs. In the summer there is a small ice cream parlour near the steps leading to the waterfall. The waterfall is more impressive in winter months though. 20 min to the waterfall

The trail is easy to find. It's really beauful and no special fitness is required to finish it within 3-4 hours. There are two or three places where it's quite possible to get lost but having the Google Maps as a plan B, you can make sure you follow the right path. There are a few benches by the road but no drinkable water and no trash bins. Highly recommended!

GENERAL TIPS

Money and cost Since our inerary was a roadtrip style, you’ll likely be staying somewhere diﬀerent each night rather than having a base. We usually stayed in small hotels or guesthouses, although a few hostels in the main tourist areas and plenty of nicer hotels also exist. you can book them here: www.booking.com

Weather Cyprus, parcularly south Cyprus, can get quite busy during the European summer with European holidaymakers. So, if you want to avoid the crowds, then you probably want to skip the summer. Otherwise, any other me of the year is good since the weather is pleasant all year round.
