Survey and documentation works have been completed on the historic stone bridge of Anapodaris, located near the village of Demati in the Heraklion regional unit of Crete. The project involved detailed architectural recording of the bridge, a traditional Venetian-era stone structure spanning the Anapodaris river. This type of survey is typically the first step toward a full restoration, meaning the bridge may eventually be reopened or made more accessible to the public.

Visitors interested in historic Cretan architecture and rural landscapes can find Demati accessible by road from Heraklion, roughly 40 kilometers to the southwest.
