A single-day guided hike through Troodos that pairs the high-elevation Artemis Trail with the lush Myllomeris Waterfalls approach. Expect geological panoramas, pine-scented ridgelines and a cool waterfall finish.
More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You step out of the minivan into thin, cool air where rock and high pines cut a hard silhouette against the sky. The Artemis Trail unfurls underfoot — broad, mostly level, and unexpectedly barren in places, where black pine and juniper stake their claim atop weathered ophiolite rock. Later the valley closes in: the Myllomeris Waterfalls trail drops into plane trees and fern-matted banks, where the river dares you to pause and listen.

Wildlife
History
Troodos’ geology (an uplifted ophiolite) and nearby Byzantine churches reflect a landscape shaped by ancient tectonics and centuries of rural mountain life.
Conservation
High-elevation flora and riparian zones are fragile — stay on marked paths, pack out waste and avoid disturbing streamside vegetation.
Reserve your spot on the Troodos Walking Trip (Artemis+/Myllomeris Waterfalls) today and enjoy a trusted, highly rated experience designed to help you make the most of your adventure.
Pace for elevation and exposure
Although Artemis is mostly flat, the high altitude and exposed stretches mean you should pace yourself and carry a wind layer.
Bring at least 2 liters of water
Water sources are unreliable between trails — hydrate before and during the hike to avoid fatigue.
Footwear matters
Sturdy hiking shoes with good traction handle mixed rock and wet trail sections better than sandals.
Timing for the waterfall
Visit Myllomeris earlier in the day for lower crowds and cooler air; the pool is most inviting in summer but can be cold.
Sturdy hiking boots
Support and traction for mixed rock, roots and wet sections on both trails.
Insulating and windproof layers
High-elevation weather can shift quickly; layers manage temperature and wind.
Hydration system (2–3 L)
Sufficient water for an entire day when taps are absent between trail sections.
summer
Light rain shell
Protects against sudden showers or light snow at higher elevations between January and March.
