Bridges / route

The Venetian bridges of Troodos

We include the Tzelefos, Elia and Roudia bridges as a way to see the history of trade in the landscape rather than in a museum.

Late Middle Ages to the early modern period

The stone bridges connected mountain roads, mines, villages and the coast.

The route works well as a pause between churches: children can measure the width of a bridge in footsteps and imagine a caravan carrying goods.

At the sites we focus on specific reference points: Tzelefos, the width of the path, the three bridges and traces of water.
