Tzelefos Bridge, located in the mountains of Cyprus, is one of the most iconic Venetian bridges on the island. Built in the Middle Ages during Venetian rule, this stone arch bridge played a crucial role as part of the trade routes through the dense forests of the Troodos Mountains. Caravans full of goods such as silk and spices used this bridge to cross the gorge over the Diarizos River, making it an important junction at a time without modern infrastructure.

The quiet sound of flowing water under the bridge adds a serene charm to this historic place. For lovers of ancient bridges, autumn colours and the pristine nature of Cyprus, this is an absolute must-see and a perfect place to experience the island's rich history and natural beauty.
