Above the cliff there is an even smaller arch to cross the waters of the river during periods of high level. Today we see a cluster of two bridges next to one another, with two different materials. The beautiful old stone bridge is just a breath away from the newest iron one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The name of the master builder of the construction of the bridge is unknown, but there are several elements showing that this is a creation of the hands of <strong>Kantsa<\/strong> people. Also, the name of the sponsor who addressed the construction costs is unknown as well. However, it seems to have a strong historical basis myth that the money was allocated by the wife of a Bey (officer of the Ottoman Empire) in the region.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It is the only surviving stone bridge in the main Sarantaporo.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Drosopigi (old Kantsiko) is a beautiful village located in the northeastern part of the prefecture of Epirus at&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2899,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_wp_convertkit_post_meta":{"form":"-1","landing_page":"0","tag":"0","restrict_content":"0"},"_themeisle_gutenberg_block_has_review":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[204],"tags":[205,30,33,34],"class_list":["post-2918","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-mastorochoria-en","tag-mastorochoria","tag-villages","tag--en","cs-entry","cs-video-wrap"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/epirusexplorer.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2918","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/epirusexplorer.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/epirusexplorer.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/epirusexplorer.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/epirusexplorer.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2918"}],"version-history":[{"count":17,"href":"https:\/\/epirusexplorer.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2918\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":5306,"href":"https:\/\/epirusexplorer.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2918\/revisions\/5306"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/epirusexplorer.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2899"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/epirusexplorer.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2918"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/epirusexplorer.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2918"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/epirusexplorer.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2918"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
