VIDEO: We saw the overflowing Trimiklini dam and we are into a trip!

On the way from Limassol to Troodos, just 1.5 km north to Trimiklini, one finds on the right side of the street the Trimiklini dam, which many know as Saittas dam. The dam is located on Kouris River and it has a capacity of 340000 cubic meters of water. An amazing aerial video by Manos Botrini sure works as an invitation for a trip towards the mountains.

This concrete construction has a scaled outer side, thereby producing a very loud noise when the water hits the scales. It is the only dam in Cyprus, which is always flooded offering visitors a spectacular view. The fact that there is always water in it, results to a lake turned into an amazing habitat, which is also vital to the activities and the survival of residents in the area.

One can study the dam and the biodiversity of the area for several hours. The surrounding environment with rich vegetation, is ideal for relaxation and renewal area. The area, also can provide a very tasty experience with products from the fruit market of sweets from the center of Trimiklini, as well as restaurants and services at the gas station.
