Polyanthos bridge, Ottoman bridge in Narlıköy, Greece

The three-arched stone bridge spans the Kompsatos River with a central arch reaching 12 meters high and measuring 21.8 meters across.

Built by Epirote craftsmen during the 17th or 18th century, this bridge represents the Ottoman architectural influence in Western Thrace.

The structure stands near an early Christian basilica and the Byzantine castle of Polyanthos, marking centuries of architectural development in the region.

The bridge serves as a pedestrian crossing point and remains under the protection of the Hellenic Ministry of Culture and Sports.

Despite its Ottoman origins, local folklore often attributes similar bridges in Greece to Byzantine builders, while in Bulgaria they are labeled Roman.
