Removed from Unnamed collection

The Old Aqueduct, also known as the Medieval Aqueduct, is a remarkable relic from the Byzantine era. This stunning structure underwent significant repairs under Ottoman rule, especially during the time of Suleiman the Magnificent around 1530 AD. The aqueduct's impressive double arches were ingeniously crafted to connect the peninsula of Panagia with the base of the Lekani mountain.

Standing before this architectural marvel, you can't help but feel the whispers of history echoing through its stones. The aqueduct not only served a practical purpose but also symbolized the blending of cultures and empires that once thrived in this region. It's a must-see for anyone visiting the area, offering a perfect backdrop for those Instagram-worthy shots. Plus, it's a fantastic spot to ponder the ingenious engineering of ancient civilizations while taking in the breathtaking scenery.
