Skotini waterfall lies at Fodele in the province of Mylopotamos, near the Byzantine Church of Panagia and the El Greco Museum. It forms beside the road leading from the village towards these two landmarks, at the locality of Skotini.

The waterfall is approximately 15 metres high and seasonal, flowing after prolonged rainfall. Water is not guaranteed on every visit, as its presence depends on rainfall and the stream’s discharge.

Although close to the road, the waterfall is partly concealed by vegetation and folds in the colourful rock face. Approaching from Fodele, it lies on the left shortly before the Church of Panagia. A farm track also passes near its upper section and loops back towards the village.

The view from the road differs from that at the foot of the waterfall. Reaching the lower section involves crossing rocky ground, which can be particularly slippery when wet. Its proximity to the road does not mean that every part of the waterfall is easily accessible.
