Milia Medieval Venetian Bridge

Enchanting 16th-century arched stone bridge hidden beneath giant plane trees along the Ezousa River.

One of the most solitary and tranquil Venetian bridges in Cyprus, concealed in a secluded river hollow between Kelokedara and Salamiou villages. Built in the 16th century of rustic riverstone.

Unlike the bustling Tzelefos bridge in Troodos, Milia remains an undiscovered secret. A gentle crystal stream flows beneath the stone arch framed by fragrant wild figs and canopy trees.

Tips before you go

  • Access is via an unpaved rural track, easily drivable at low speeds in dry weather.
  • Bring a picnic blanket to relax beside the babbling stream in total seclusion.
  • Great shaded stopover on a driving tour of the Paphos wine valleys.

How to get there

Between Kelokedara and Salamiou villages, turn off at the wooden sign for Milia Bridge.
