The walk is relatively short, being only 3km from the start to the finish. But don't let the short distance fool you! Most people start the walk at Platres near the Psilo Dendro trout farm, situated on the main road from Limassol to Troodos. At Psilo Dendro, take the concrete path to the left of the restaurantand walk 100m up to the start of the trail.
At the wooden marker board, continue up the forest track towards the famous waterfall. The track is straightforwardto follow but do take care as the path crosses the Kryos Potamos river six or seven times before you hear the waterfall sound and youfinally approach the waterfall itself.
Hiking boots are strongly recommended for crossing the river, especially in wet weather or after snowfall in Cyprus as thewaterfall rock can be very slippery.
Once you reach the falls, take time to rest and get that camera out as you will want to take lots of pictures.The track then continues alongside the left of the Caledonia falls (you can stop to look over the top of the waterfall) and then, after some rocks and undergrowth, you will pick up the first of the nature trail markers.
Follow the waterfall trail which goes STEEPLY upwards. There are lots of nature trail signs to help you on your wayand this section is far less dangerous under foot as wooden bridges have been built to cross the river. The trail finishes at the wooden hut, about 2km from Troodos square, but not before you have conquered the 150 manmade steps en route - this part of the walk is very tiring so you need to be resaonably fit. You can then either descend back down the same way, continue onwards to Troodos square or take an extentionloop by turning right at the wooden hut and joining the Pouziaris trail (1629m S.Shoulder), marked on the map.
Waterfall Landscape Terrain
Forest track strewn with rocks and tree roots. Very slippery in wet conditions. Upper sections of the trail are part stone, part wooden bridges.
Waterfall Trail Navigation Pointers
An easy to follow trail starting from the Psilo Dendro trout farm.
Tips: This walk can be enjoyed all year round even in the hot summer months as it is a well shaded forest waterfall walk. If you intend to do this walk in the winter months, however, check on the weather conditionsin Troodos before you go as the walk may be too slippery after wet weather or snow.

Η ονομασία του καταρράκτη των Καληδονιών πρέπει να προήλθε από τους Άγγλους (και μάλιστα τους Σκωτσέζους). Όταν επισκέφτηκαν την περιοχή, γύρω στο 1878, οι Άγγλοι και οι Σκωτσέζοι, δύο χιλιόμετρα περίπου βόρεια των Π. Πλατρών είδαν τον καταρράκτη, ο οποίος τους γοήτευσε. Θυμήθηκαν την πατρίδα τους και τον ονόμασαν Καταρράκτη της Καληδονίας (Καληδονία ονομαζόταν στα αρχαία χρόνια η Σκωτία). Οι κάτοικοι των Πλατρών τον έλεγαν και τον λέγουν Καταρράκτη των Καληδονιών (Τα Καληδόνια).
0 καταρράκτης είναι από τους πιο ψηλούς που έχομε στην Κύπρο. Το νερό του καταρράκτη πέφτει κάθετα από ύψος 12 μέτρων. Υπάρχει δρόμος για αυτοκίνητα, που οδηγεί στον καταρράχτη, καθώς και μονοπάτι της φύσης (κοντά στο Ψηλόδεντρο) που οδηγεί σ' αυτόν.
Βρίσκεται στην νοτιοανατολική περιοχή των Πλατρών, σε απόσταση ενός χιλιομέτρου από την αφετηρία του «μονοπατιού της φύσης», που οδηγεί σ' αυτόν. Στον καταρράχτη οδηγεί και δρόμος χωμάτινος, από τον οποίο μπορούν να πάνε κοντά και αυτοκίνητα.
Ο καταρράκτης πρέπει να πήρε την ονομασία του από τις λέξεις μιλλός, που στην κυπριακή διάλεκτο σημαίνει υγρός, και τη λέξη μέρος (μιλλός+μέρος= Μιλλομέρης). Η ροή νερού από τον Κρυό Ποταμό έκανε το μέρος υγρό και δροσερό και έτσι ονόμασαν τον καταρράχτη Μιλλομέρη. Το νερό του καταρράχτη πέφτει από ύψος 15 μέτρων. 0 καταρράκτης αυτός μόλις τα τελευταία χρόνια έγινε γνωστός, επειδή η τοποθεσία που βρίσκεται ήταν μέχρι πρόσφατα απρόσιτη. Με τα έργα όμως που έγιναν, το δρόμο και το μονοπάτι που ανοίχτηκαν για προσπέλαση σ' αυτόν ο καταρράκτης του Μιλλομέρη αποτελεί ένα από τα αξιοθέατα των Π. Πλατρών και ελκύει πολλούς επισκέπτες με την ομορφιά του.

Platani Greek: Πλατάνι is a Turkish Cypriot village in the Famagusta District of Cyprus, located 9 kilometres (5.6 mi) north of Lefkoniko. It is locally known for the nearby stalactite cave. 
The grass goby (Zosterisessor ophiocephalus) is a species of goby native to the Mediterranean Sea, the Sea of Azov and the Black Sea. It is currently the only known member of its genus.
Grass Gobies can grow up to 25 centimetres (9.8 in) long. The head crown, nape, throat, belly and base of the pectoral fins are covered by cycloid scales[3] and the gill covers are nacked. The abdominal sucker has no blades and does not reach the anus. The mandibula are protrusive, and the skin soft, with mucous. The coloration is green-brown, patterned with merging brown spots. The cheeks have round light spots. The dorsal, caudal, and pectoral fins have longitudinal brown stripes on a light background; the anal and abdominal sucker are dark.
Atergatis roseus has a wide, smooth, oval carapace with convex almost entire, with no indication of regions and with bluntly crested anterolateral margins. The pereiopods are laterally compressed with distal crests on the upper and lower margins. The carapace is reddish brown and the legs have black tips, younger specimens are paler, more reddish orange, with a white margins to the carapace. They grow to 6 cm, measuring the carapace length from the head to the posterior.
Cassiopea andromeda (Upside-down jellyfish) is a type of jellyfish that usually lives in intertidal sand or mud flats, shallow lagoons, and around mangroves. This jellyfish, many times mistaken for a sea anemone, usually has its mouth upward on the bottom. Its bell, which is yellow-brown with streaks and spots that are white or pale, vibrates to make the water flow through its arms for respiration and the obtaining of food.
Cassiopea andromeda is carnivorous and eats small animals from the sea or just pieces of them after it paralyzes its prey with its mucous and nematocysts when they are released. This jellyfish also lives in a symbiotic relationship with photosynthetic dinoflagellate algae, the Zooxanthellae, and with shrimps. The Zooxanthellae live in the tissues of the ventral surface of its body and it is the responsible for the color of it. As the Zooxanthellaeon gets food for the Cassiopea andromeda, in response, it gets the sunlight that is necessary for the photosynthetic dinoflagellate algae. Therefore, the shrimp has a different symbiotic relationship with this jellyfish. It lives in its tentacles and protects it by taking the parasites off. In exchange, the Cassiopea andromeda mainly offers protection to the shrimp from the environment. This symbiotic relationship is called mutualism, where both species benefit from their interactions.
