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.

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.
This route threads natural history and human history. Troodos is an ophiolite massif — former ocean crust thrust skyward — so the geology is a classroom of layered basalt, schist and pillow lavas. Byzantine chapels and mountain hamlets nearby speak to centuries of shepherding, monasteries and copper-mining that shaped local culture.
Expect two distinct environments on a full-day walk: Artemis’s high-elevation geology and vistas (about 8 km, mostly easy underfoot) and the lush 1.2 km each-way Myllomeris approach ending at Cyprus’s highest waterfall. The combined day can run 8–10 hours with steady pauses for photos, short scrambles and a riverside lunch.
Practical guidance: wear sturdy hiking shoes, pack 2–3 liters of water, sun protection and a windproof layer. Start early to avoid afternoon clouds and to give time for both trails; the waterfall pool can be tempting for a quick dip in summer but check water temperature and flow. Groups are small and guided, making this ideal for hikers who want geology, variety and manageable distance in one day.
The Artemis Trail is mostly easy and flat but at high elevation; Myllomeris is a shorter, steeper valley walk — combined the day is moderate and best for those with regular hiking experience.
Yes, a shallow pool at the base is often used for cooling off in summer; avoid swimming when flows are high or temperatures are very cold.
Tours typically include a prearranged pickup or meeting point and return transport; confirm your pickup location at booking.
Between January and March snow can affect high sections; guides may offer alternate routes such as the Madari circular trail or Pouziaris depending on conditions.
