Description
Kefalos Bridge, Cyprus with Swans digital painting by Michele Avanti
Inspired by an ancient stone bridge in Greece, I had to paint this piece in the colors in my mind, and added the swans though I have not seen any there.

Hidden Venetian bridges are testimony to the Venetians rule from 1489-1571. The bridges formed part of the old camel trail, built to aid the extraction of anything valuable the Venetians could find on the island, for example copper from Pera pedi.
Kefalos Bridge is the most famous of the still remaining medieval bridges in Cyprus. The other two in the same area are the Elia and Roudia bridges.
To go to Kefalos, also called the Kelefos bridge, this is the route to take:
From the highway, take the troodos exit and go towards troodos.
After around 20 kms, you will come to the village of trimlikini.
Immediately after Trimlikini, you will come across a junction where there are roads going to various other villages to the right and left. You have to take left where the signs point towards Mandria and Omodos Monastery.
Proceed towards Mandria on the same road. Just after Mandria, you will see many exits. Don�t go towards Omodos/Platres. Take the turn towards Ayios Nikolas/Pafos.
After this turn, the road is pretty narrow and single-laned. You have to drive for at least 15-20 minutes to reach Ayios Nikolas.
Just when you enter Ayios Nikolas, you will see a brown board pointing the turn towards the right for Kefalos / Kelefos Bridge.
You have to travel for around 6 kms on this earthen road to reach the bridge.
