It got its name from the only olive tree that existed in the location in which it was built. Since it was rare at the time and the altitude, the olive tree was a point of reference for travelers.

It is a very pointed bridge with one arch. It is built out of stone and it is part of the trail “Enetika Gefyria” (Venitian Bridges).
