Tavronitis Old Bridge

Oct 2018

This bridge has been witness of fighting on the first day of operation Mercury. The German Fallschirmjagers landed near the bridge with gliders. From the river, the Germans attacked the airfield of Maleme. A day later the Germans captured the airfield of Maleme. Today, there are still 'scars' from the battle

Was excited to view this but was sad to see the torpedos had gone

Maybes it might be an idea to put up a plaque explaining the history behind the bridge

Interesting piece of WW2 history

Sept 2023 • Solo

If you're visiting the nearby German war graves, this is worth looking at, but it doesn't warrant going out of your way to visit.
There's an information board above the old bunker and the bridge still shows signs of the heavy fighting that took place there.

Tavronitis bridge

Nov 2017 • Family

A historic bridge playing an important part of the German invasion in WW 2. Closeby there is also a memorial dedicated to the RAF.
