Tzelefos Bridge
old Venetian bridge in the Troodos forest
Why go
The bridge is 30 metres long, 8 metres high and 3.2 metres wide, and it is the best known of the three bridges on the Venetian Bridges trail. It dates from the Venetian roads built for camel caravans carrying copper, timber and grain. The second stage of the trail leads to it from the Elia bridge through a pine grove and goes on to Pera Vasa, where there is a picnic area.
Good for: hikers who like forest walks
⚠️ Safety
Open fires are forbidden in the forest because of the fire risk. Wear comfortable shoes and carry enough drinking water.
