10 km west of the city you can discover the historical bridge of the river Gorgopotamos. The bridge is of WWII historical importance when it was bombarded in order to block the passing of the Nazis. Two of the four columns are stone-made and the other two are of cement as they were the ones destroyed in this operation. The river passes through and the landscape is beautiful within the forestry.

There's also an old commercial bridge with rail-tracks, which used to be used for cargo services from the port. Looks oldish and abandoned but it is kind of nice :)
