The Cuckoo Bridge, built in 1880, stands proudly at the narrowest point of the Alfeios River, offering a unique experience. This stone bridge is not just a functional work, but a true marvel of engineering art, created by master craftsman Antonis Katsianos. The view from the bridge towards the rushing waters of the Alfeios and the surrounding nature is truly magnificent. If it was once a major trade corridor from Gortynia to Andritsaina, today it offers visitors a taste of traditional architecture.
Combine your visit to the Cuckoo’s Bridge with a trip to Karytaina, just a few kilometers away. There, you will be able to explore the imposing Karytaina Castle, which dominates the top of the hill, and enjoy the magnificent view of the surrounding area. Don’t miss the famous stone bridge of Karytaina, which once graced the 5,000 drachma banknote. The route combines history, architecture and natural beauty, making it an ideal getaway for lovers of tradition and landscape.
