Katarraktis Millomeris Waterfall

Pano Platres, Limassol, Cyprus

The waterfall derives its name, "Millomeri," from the fusion of two Cypriot words: "millos," meaning wet, and "meros," meaning place. According to local lore, the refreshing coolness emanating from Krio Protamo lends a dewy quality to the surroundings, hence the name. Plummeting from a height of 15 meters, Millomeri has garnered increased attention in recent times due to various enhancements in the Pano Platres region. Regarded as one of the treasures of Pano Platres alongside Kelidonia waterfall, Millomeri is a must-visit destination. Even just witnessing its beauty and indulging in the natural delights it offers promises a memorable experience that will linger long after your visit.
