Kaledonian Waterfall, Natural waterfall in Platres, Cyprus.
The cascading water drops from a height of 12 meters along the Krios river, surrounded by dense vegetation in the Troodos Mountains.
British settlers in the late 19th century named this waterfall after their homeland Caledonia when they established vacation spots in Platres.
The waterfall received its name from the Scottish migrants who connected the mountain landscape with their native Scotland's ancient Roman name.
The trail to reach the waterfall extends 3 kilometers and takes approximately 2 hours to complete, with easier access available from Aedonion road.
The water flow maintains its strength throughout the year, creating a constant mist that sustains specialized plant species in the surrounding area.
