Description
The oldest stone bridge on the Island of Crete in Greece was built in the 12th century in Kato Moni Prevelis. Preveli is located on the Greek/Helenic Isle of Crete along the southern shore at about the midpoint of the island. The area is sparsely populated and contains mountainous desert type scrub. There are several small dirt roads which criss-cross steep ravines through numerous switchbacks. This stone arch bridge is no longer in use but there is a fording crossing for occasional sheep herds about 200 feet downstream of the bridge which also carries vehicle traffic.
