In detail
“Kefrida” is transformed version of “aquae frigida” – cold/icy water.
On Kefrida stream have formed three large falls. The upper two are located close together while the third is some 0.5 km below these falls. This lower fall is easily accessible from the road and thus it is the most visited one.
All three falls are sliding down along the cliff, forming picturesque fans of falling water. Below the third fall has formed a small lake and visitors gladly take a bath there, often trying to climb on the waterfall and jump in the lake.
Kefrida Falls is a beloved place for recreation. Thousands of visitors and locals come here. After a short walk along with the shops of souvenirs, drinks and sweets they can enjoy a breathtaking view on the white waterfall and noisy, merry people, enjoying their time here.
