Port of Patras
Port of Patras
Third largest city in Greece with the best route to the Ionian Islands out of Athens. It's a 4 hour ride from Athens along the Gulf of Corinth to Patras which is beautiful.
Rio-Antirrio Bridge
Rio-Antirrio Bridge
This bridge is near Patras and joins the Peloponnese Peninsula to the mainland. It looks like ships' sails from a distance and was built with hydraulic posts to withstand earthquakes. This day was very windy crossing the strait on a motorcycle. I had to lean hard into the wind just to stay upright.
Rio Bridge
Rio Bridge
Ride from the mainland across the bridge to Patras. It was a beautiful calm day that I rode from Igoumenitsa to Athens via the bridge.
