Plakidas Bridge, also known as Kokkoris Bridge, is one of the most famous ancient crossings in the Zagorohoria region of Epirus, Greece!
Originally made of wood, it was later rebuilt with the support of Abbot Seraphim, the abbot of the Kipina Monastery. The new stone bridge was named Kalogericó — "Monk's Bridge". Later, it was renamed Plakidas in honor of Alexis Plakidas, who meticulously restored it in 1863.
Interesting Fact: This bridge is not just a testament to engineering prowess but also a symbol of community spirit and religious devotion. It's one of the few remaining bridges from the Ottoman era in Greece, showcasing a unique blend of history and architecture.
