The Kolokouris River, named after the Kolokouris family, a prominent clan known for contributing to the region's development, is a significant watercourse in Cyprus. The name was first recorded in medieval times, with the exact origins unknown but undoubtedly tied to the family's influence. The dam on this river was constructed in the 20th century as part of Cyprus's ambitious projects to harness and manage water resources effectively. The dam serves multiple purposes - irrigation, flood control, and as a source of drinking water. It also transformed the landscape, creating a scenic reservoir that enhances the appeal of the Anerades Natural Trail.
Awakening in the tranquil embrace of the Secret Forest, formerly the Ayii Anargyri Natural Healing Spa Resort, is an unparalleled delight. An early morning stroll along the nearby segment of the Anerades Natural Trail, close to the village of Miliou, brings a burst of exhilaration. The morning sun casts a golden glow on the blossoming spring flora, and the air is thick with the scent of pine and citrus, an intoxicating aroma that invigorates the senses. The charm of Miliou, with its quaint stone houses and cobblestone streets, creates an atmosphere of timeless tranquillity. The rejuvenating journey through the picturesque countryside and the historic village encapsulates the unique allure of a Cypriot spring morning.
