Greece - Koukouli, Noutsos Bridge

The Noutsos Bridge (Γεφύρι Νούτσο) - also called Kokkoros Bridge - is an impressive one-arched bridge located between the villages Koukouli, Dilofo and Kipi. The bridge spans the River Vikos at one of its impressive narrows. There is an inscription with the year of 1750 or 1752. The bridge was paid for by Mr. Noutsos Kontodimos and Mr. Noutsos Karamesinis. Mr. Kokkoros, owner of a nearby mill, donated a sum of money to correct the steep incline of the cobbled walkway in 1910.

The Noutsos Bridge is one of the best stone bridges in the area. It has an impressive arch spanning 24 meters and rising 11,60 meters above the river bed. The walkway has a length of 39 meters and is 2,50 meters wide.

The Noutsos Bridge, although very old, is still in good condition. In 1977, part of the cobbled path was destoyed by unknowns, but fortunately, the archaeological service repaired the damage and the historic bridge still stands there.
