Fairytale Stone Arch Bridges of Ioannina From Above

The stone bridges of the Prefecture of Ioannina can be found throughout its territory. Within steep gorges and riverbeds.

Built on rugged paths where the inhabitants used to cross with mules to transport their goods even to the most remote villages of Ioannina.

The stone bridges made it easy for any passer-by to travel when rivers and torrents overflowed in winter. Bridges differ in shape and size.
