The Historic 1748 Stone Bridge of Mylos in Central Zagori

The Mill Stone Bridge (Mylos Bridge) is one of the most beautiful stone bridges of Zagori. Built in 1748, it spans the Bagiotiko River near the village of Kipoi, in Central Zagori. Unlike most of the region's bridges, which have a single arch, the Bridge of Mylos features two large arches and a smaller auxiliary arch, making it one of the area's most distinctive stone bridges.

The bridge once connected Kipoi with Elati and the route to Ioannina, allowing local farmers and traders to reach the surrounding villages and cultivated fields. Its name comes from the nearby watermill (mylos), which belonged to the local church and has been restored.

Today, the bridge is surrounded by lush vegetation, crystal-clear waters and the peaceful scenery that characterizes the Zagorohoria. It is an excellent stop for photographers, hikers and anyone interested in the region's rich architectural heritage.

The Bridge of Mylos has been designated a historic monument and still plays an important role in local tradition, as the Epiphany Cross is thrown into the river from the bridge every year during the Feast of the Epiphany.

The bridge is located just outside Kipoi village and can be reached easily on foot after a short walk, making it one of the most accessible stone bridges in Zagori.
