Portitsa Bridge and Gorge - a photo on Flickriver

            This is a shot of the stone bridge at the gorge ‘Portitsa’ (Kanavi valley) near the city of Grevena. The double-arched bridge was constructed in 1743; it is a 112–ft / 34–m long,  9–ft / 2.7–m wide  and  26–ft / 7.8–m high.

The river ‘Venetikos’ runs through the gorge. Thanks to its bluey water, this river may have been named after the word “vénetos” (adjective for the azure / cerulean blue in ancient and medieval Greek; as a noun in plural “vénetoe” meant the blue-uniform-wearing charioteers of the Byzantine Empire). Venetikos is a tributary of Aliakmon, the longest river (185 miles / 297 km) in Greece.
