The bridge is located at the exit of Kompsatos, which stems from mountainous Rodopi, crosses Thracian valley and empties into Lake Vistonida.
In the surrounding area have identified several sites with pre-Christian and Christian antiquities with main Byzantine castle of Polyanthos and an aisled basilica between the village of Polianthos and the bridge.
