Tzelefos Bridge is one of the most picturesque medieval stone bridges in Cyprus, located deep inside the Paphos Forest among centuries-old trees and along the Diarizos River. It is the largest and best-preserved Venetian bridge in the region, originally built on ancient trade routes. The area is ideal for peaceful walks, nature relaxation, picnics and photography. During winter and spring the river becomes fuller and the forest especially green.
