About Theogefyro<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

In the Second World War, the Italian planes bombed two bridges in the area. One of them was in the village of S\u03bfulopoulo and the other in Theogefyro. The first was destroyed, but the second was saved because of its position.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The word \u201cTheogefyro\u201d is Greek and it means bridge made by God. The rapids of the river Kalamas together with nature and time pierced the rock and opened a passageway. This passageway took the shape of the bridge through the years. Since most physical events were interpreted as a result of divine intervention the natural bridge was named Theogefyro. Therefore, the traditions and legends could not be missing as for anything that was difficult to interpret divine intervention created ways of saving people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
