What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Visitors find the Old Stone Bridge Kosynthos easily accessible and appreciate its historical beauty, despite parts of the structure having collapsed. The remaining arches and the unique herringbone carving are noted highlights, offering a glimpse into 16th-century Thracian engineering.
"Easily accessible and beautiful bridge. 500 meters north there is a gas station and a hotel. We leave the car and continue on foot. Part of the bridge has collapsed. The "key" has a herringbone carved into the large arch. Local residents told us that it is a copy and the original stone was "lost".
I am copying from "Vistonida Environmental Education Center - Following the Kosynthos River":
The bridge located at the 5th km is one of the oldest stone bridges in Thrace (16th century) and is said to have originally consisted of 9 arches which gradually collapsed and only 2 arches and 2 relief domes remained."
