Kazarma (Arkadiko) Mycenaean Bridge
Γέφυρα της Καζάρμας
A Mycenaean corbelled stone arch bridge built around the 13th century BCE, still intact and among the oldest bridges in the world still in use.
The Kazarma Bridge (also called the Arkadiko Bridge) is built of massive unmortared stones in the Cyclopean style. It measures about 22 m long and 5.6 m wide, with corbelled arches beneath. It was originally part of an ancient military road linking Tiryns, Mycenae and Epidaurus. The bridge sits beside the road from Nafplio to Epidaurus, about 15 km from Nafplio, with a roadside sign and a small parking spot. Admission is free. Allow 15–20 minutes for photos. It pairs well with the ancient theatre at Epidaurus as a day trip.
