Although Crete is not renowned for its large rivers, it still mpresses with some of the most beautiful stone bridges in Greece. The most famous is the arched bridge of Prevelis, while of very great archaeological importance are the ancient bridges of Eleftherna and the Elliniki Bridge of Apokoronas. Similarly, important projects are the Venetian aqueducts, which transfered water across rivers to the towns.
Morozini Aqueduct 
Boutakas Bridge 
One of the least known stone bridges of Crete is the bridge of Boutakas located between the villages Vrises, Embrosneros and Vafes at province Apokoronas. It is the newest of two stone bridges of that area (there is also the famous bridge Elliniki Kamara which is more than 2000 years old). The bridge is still in use by cars and was built during the last decade of the 19th century by local craftsmen.
The bridge of the village Kato Astraki is called Astrakiani Kamara (Arch of Astraki) and is located a few meters away from the village, on the banks of the River Karteros. Astrakiani Kamara is a magnificent and well preserved arched stone bridge built in the 16th century and is one of the most beautiful of Crete. The bridge was built to connect Astraki with Sgourokefali and the villages of the eastern side of the river Karteros.
Elliniki Kamara (i.e. Greek Arch) is an arched bridge built in the Hellenistic Era with some later additions (Venetian and Ottoman Era). The name comes from Hellenistic Kamara. The opening of the arc is 11.10m long, 8.40m high and has a width of 3.00m.
The ancient bridge of Eleftherna was built in the first half of the 4th century and is preserved in excellent condition, crossing the torrent Chalopotas. Nearby there was another twin bridge that has not survived. It has a length of 9.5 meters and a width of 5.25 meters. It has a characteristic shape, as there is no arch, but a triangular opening (ekforic architecture).
Between the villages Koxare and Atsipades we meet the wonderful stone arched bridge of Koxare (named Old Arch), which served the residents of the two villages in past times. The river below the bridge runs through the canyon Kourtaliotis and ends at Preveli beach.
The stone bridge of Kryopotamos, near Myrtos, was built in 1884 and has three large arches. It is such a masterful construction, so that it has been declared as a work of art.
Near Agios Ioannis village at Amari district, we meet the elaborate four-arched bridge of Manouras or Omeroustas that bridges the junction of River Ligiotis and the torrent Mounouha. The bridge, built in the period 1828-1840, has suffered considerable damage from time.
The Venetian stone bridge of Platanias, named San Marco, crosses the river Platanias and is a single arched bridge with an arc length of 17.8m, width of 8m and height 3.65m. The bridge is the longest single-arch bridge in Crete.
