My Trip to the Exotic Kritou Terra Waterfalls. Everything You need To Κnow Before Visiting.
The moist from the falling water felt both cooling and inviting after an intense hike under the hot sun. I carefully balanced myself at the edge of the cliff and approached further. Taking a deep breath I stepped under the waterfall. My skin began to tingle due to the cold water, and my breath quickened. But the feeling was so liberating and refreshing that I was forcing myself to stay a bit more under the force of the cool waterfall… Indeed, visiting Kritou Terra waterfalls was a unique experience.
Kritou Terra is a village 29 kilometers away from Pafos city. The waterfalls, also known as Kremiotis waterfalls, are located on the east side of the village.
I parked my car at a small picnic area before embarking on a demanding 900-meter nature walk to reach the secret and most charming waterfall of all. Of course, another 900 meters of ascending walk was needed to get back to the starting point. The narrow dirt trail leading to the base of the lower falls passes through various species of local trees and plants allowing you to explore at the same time the magic of the Cyprus flora.
Reaching closer to the waterfall, an ever-growing pleasant sound of the waters dropping resonated through the dense plantation brought in my mind the meaningful saying that waterfalls wouldn’t sound so melodious if there were no rocks in their way. My excitement and curiosity were increasing, since the waterfall was not yet visible.
