It is a remarkable medieval stone bridge over the Kompsatos river. The two large arches of the bridge are 21.8 and 17 m wide and the height of the arch is 12 m. The western of the original three arches has collapsed. From the parking lot on the street, a footpath goes uphill for about 10 minutes to the bridge.
The Bridge of Polyanthos is an Ottoman bridge in Western Thrace, in Greece. It crosses the river Kompsatos which is located between the villages of Iasmos and Polyanthos in the prefecture of Rhodope in Western Thrace.

Meteora of the North, Astrea Rocks
Amazing rocky peaks that remind of the famous Meteora on a smaller scale, in a remote area full of abandoned settlements. Requires driving on dirt roads and hiking. Getting onto the rocks themselves is possible only to experienced rock climbers. There are also some nice caves nearby, next to Políarnon village.
Ι.Μ. Παναγίας Αρχαγγελιώτισσας
next to the pedestrian bridge, which connects the old town with the district to the east of it, begins the approximately 500 m long promenade and plant path called "Monopati tis zois". Plants are labeled in Greek. The path leads along the river through beautiful countryside.
Interesting chapel at the end of the trail along the river.
The museum is housed in two three-story buildings, built next to each other and dating back to 1860. They were the private residence of two tobacco tradesmen and still have their inside walls decorated by remarkable paintings.
