Papa Bridge 

Near the settlements of Revma and Oraio is the Bridge of Papa (i.e. priest). It has two unequal arches, where the larger one is 11.70 m long and 6.70 m high and the smaller one is 1.50 m long and 2.50 m high. The total length of the bridge deck is 26 m long and the width is 2.20 m. On the northwest side, on the stone of the top of the arch, the key, as it is called, an engraved cross can be seen. On the other side of the bridge, the southeast, on a stone high on the arch, a carved head of a female figure can be seen. According to oral testimonies of older inhabitants, it depicted Sarakatsana holding a knife or, according to others, the Virgin Mary holding a censer. Whatever the depiction and the interpretation attributed to it by the inhabitants, today it is not preserved in good condition. There are similar traditions about the origin of the name.
