The three arched bridge of Mili

http://scenicsunday.blogspot.com/

Probably the oldest arched bridge in Samos, builded on the Imvrassos ancient river. According the Greek Mythologie the goddess Hera was born near to this river under a Wicker tree.

In 2005 the Greek State and the EC spend some 85.000 Euros to renovate any damages.

So today you can see it in a good shape.
