unikerros

Unikerros, also known as the "one-horse road," is a unique and historic road in Greece that is notable for its narrow width and the fact that it is designed to accommodate only one horse and cart at a time. This road is located in the Peloponnese region, near the village of Gerolimenas, and is part of the historic route that connected the ancient city of Sparta with the port of Gytheio.

The road's narrow width, which is approximately 1.5 meters, is a result of its construction during the Byzantine period. The road was built to facilitate the transportation of goods and people between the inland regions of the Peloponnese and the coastal areas. The narrow width of the road was intended to prevent the passage of multiple carts or vehicles at the same time, ensuring that only one horse and cart could travel on the road at any given moment.

Unikerros is also notable for its historical significance, as it was used by travelers and merchants for centuries before the advent of modern transportation. The road is a popular destination for tourists and history enthusiasts, who are drawn to its unique design and the opportunity to experience a piece of Greece's rich history.

The road is maintained by the Greek government and is open to the public for walking and cycling. However, visitors are advised to exercise caution when using the road, as it can be narrow and uneven in some places. Despite its narrow width, Unikerros remains an important part of Greece's cultural heritage and a testament to the ingenuity of its ancient builders.
