Venetian Bridges are part of a hidden treasure that are located in the valleys of rivers. When locating these bridges you will find they are usually surrounded by scenic images and unique peaceful sounds from nature.
Mylos Bridge is located in the area of Marathasa and connects the villages of Treis Elies and Kaminaria. The villages of Treis Elies, which means ‘three olive trees’ and Kaminaria are located in the Troodos mountain range, in the Marathasa valley of the Limassol district, at an altitude of 800 metres.
The Mylos Bridge is a one arched stone bridge of the Venetian period which spans the Drakonta River, a smaller river of the Diarizos River in the Marathasa Valley and is situated along the Marathasa Nature Trail close to the village of Treis Elies.

The Marathasa Nature Trail is a distance of 2.5 kilometres and passes over the bridge, starting from the village of Treis Elies and ending at the location of Orpolis. The Nature Trail which is easily walked by anyone, regardless of their physical condition or age also passes the remains of the temple dedicated to Agios Andronikos.
