The Traditional Bridge of Karytaina stands below the hill of the castle town, above the bed of the Alfeios River. It is one of the area’s most recognizable landmarks, linking the image of medieval Karytaina with the river landscape that surrounds it. Its position between the settlement, the castle and the Alfeios makes the site particularly interesting for visitors who want to understand Gortynia’s connection with crossings, rivers and older routes. The bridge is also known as the old Alfeios bridge at Karytaina. Its history is connected with the medieval period and with its 15th-century reconstruction, while at one of its bases stands the small chapel of the Nativity of the Virgin Mary. The presence of the chapel gives the site a special character, connecting the technical structure with religious memory and local tradition. In more recent memory, the bridge became widely known as the “5,000 drachma bridge”, because it was associated with the image of Karytaina on the old 5,000 drachma banknote. For visitors, the interest of the site is not limited to the bridge itself. A stop here offers views towards the Alfeios River, the old and modern bridges, and Karytaina rising above them with its castle. The route from the settlement towards the bridge area can work as a short walk introducing the landscape, history and natural defensive position of Karytaina. The old bridge has conservation issues and should not be treated as a safe crossing point. Observation and photography should be done from safe places, without approaching damaged sections and without attempting to cross the old structure. Visitors should be careful near the Alfeios riverbed, especially after rainfall or when the water level is high. The value of the Traditional Bridge of Karytaina lies in the way several layers of history meet in one place: a medieval crossing, stone craftsmanship, a small chapel, a river landscape and the distinctive image of Karytaina above the Alfeios.
