Venetian bridge

The Drakontas Venetian Bridge stands as a testament to the architectural ingenuity and rich history of the Venetian era in Cyprus. Nestled amidst the lush greenery of the Paphos Forest, this stone bridge offers visitors a glimpse into the island’s vibrant past and its importance as a trade and transportation hub.

Potamiou Bridge is situated in the village of Potamiou in the  Limassol district. More specifically it is located northwest of Limassol at a distance of 39 kilometres. The village is built on the west bank of the Hapotami River.

Stavrou Bridge is located in the village of Fini in the Limassol district. The bridge links the two parts of the Fini villages together.

It is called Stavrou Bridge due to the fact that it is built very close to the church of Timiou Stavrou.

High in the Troodos foothills, just north of the village of Trimiklini, lies a striking relic of Cyprus’s Ottoman and Venetian past: the Trimiklini Venetian Bridge. Constructed with stones gathered from the riverbed of the Kouris, this centuries-old bridge—built in the Venetian era—stands out with its three asymmetrical stone arches, each of a distinct shape, meticulously woven into the valley’s greenery.

The Akapnou Bridge is located to the northwest of the community of Akapnou in the Limassol district.

The stone bridge is situated at a distance of 300 metres from the centre, surrounded by thick wild vegetation, with one of the Vasilopotamos Rivers flowing beneath it.

The Piskopou Bridge is located at a short distance from the village of Fini in the Limassol district. It is situated in the Troodos Mountain range about 44 kilometres northwest of the town of Limassol.

The Orkonta Venetian Bridge  is located in the village of Orkonta in the Marathasa Valley of the Nicosia district.

The medieval road that crossed the valley of Marathasa followed the same course as the one the road today does, was connected with the Venetian bridge of Orkonta.

The Oikou Kalopanayioti Venetian Bridge is located on the border of the villages Oikou and Kalopanayioti, which passes over the Setracho River.

It is situated in an area with wild vegetation and was built during the Venetian period. It was originally built to assist the residents in transporting items either on foot or on horse.

Tucked deep in the Troodos Mountains, near the sleepy village of Treis Elies, lies a bridge that seems to span not only a mountain stream—but time itself. The Treis Elies Bridge, though lesser-known than some of its famous medieval cousins, is a beautiful example of Cyprus's stone-arched rural architecture, and a quiet testament to the island’s rich past.

Deep within the tranquil embrace of the Paphos Forest lies Gefiri tou Roudia—one of Cyprus’s most enchanting medieval stone bridges. Surrounded by towering pines, leafy plane trees, and gurgling streams, this single-arch bridge feels like something out of a storybook. Though centuries old, it continues to captivate visitors with its understated beauty and atmospheric setting.
