Elia Venetian Bridge
single-arched 16th-century stone bridge in the Paphos Forest
Why go
The bridge dates from the Venetian period, between 1489 and 1571, and crosses the upper Diarizos River. Its deck is almost flat, without the usual central hump, and crosses are carved into the rocks on both sides. It is part of the Venetian Bridges trail, and a short path leads down to it from the road. The best view for photos is from the riverbed, looking up through the arch.
Good for: walkers on the Venetian Bridges trail and photographers
⚠️ Safety
The top of the bridge is narrow with no high guardrails, so cross with care, especially with children. Rocks in and around the riverbed can be slippery with moss or moisture, so wear shoes with good grip. Mobile signal is weak in the forest canyon, so download the map beforehand.
