Millomeris Waterfall, Mountain waterfall in Platres Village, Cyprus
Description
Millomeris Waterfall plunges about 15 meters down rocky cliffs into a small natural pool within the Limassol District's mountain terrain. Dense forest and steep slopes enclose the water, creating a sheltered green setting.
History
The name comes from two Greek words: Mylos meaning moist and Meros meaning location, describing the constant water presence. This naming reflects how waterfalls have long been recognizable features of the local mountain landscape.
Culture
Local visitors use this spot for weekend gatherings and family picnics, especially when the weather warms up. The setting makes it easy for people to spend time outdoors together away from daily routines.
Practical
A roughly 1-kilometer nature trail with steps and bridges leads from the village entrance to the waterfall, making the descent easier to manage. The ground becomes slippery after rain, so sturdy shoes and careful footing matter here.
Did you know?
The water stays cold all year since it flows straight from mountain springs, forming a natural bathing spot at the pool's base. Many visitors don't realize this constant coldness brings surprises even in summer months.
