Rio-Antirrio Bridge (Charilaos Trikoupis)
The Rio–Antirrio Bridge (Greek: Γέφυρα Ρίου–Αντιρρίου), officially the Charilaos Trikoupis Bridge, is one of the world's longest multi-span cable-stayed bridges and longest of the fully suspended type. It crosses the Gulf of Corinth near Patras, linking the town of Rio on the Peloponnese peninsula to Antirrio on mainland Greece by road. It opened one day before the Athens 2004 Summer Olympics, on 12 August 2004, and was used to transport the Olympic flame.Put Rio-Antirrio Bridge (Charilaos Trikoupis) and other Antirrio attractions into our Antirrio tour planner, and watch your holiday take shape.

A very nice, but expensive to cross, bridge. Not a lot to say, it is an attractive bridge and easy to get good views from the old forts and castles either side. It was just expensive to drive across..... more

Any country in the world would be proud to have this lovely structure. Very near to the last toll both you can park and access a pedestrian walkway that lets you look down the center of the bridge...

Amazing bridge! Very beautiful! If you drive car over bridge this pay 13,7 €. But if you walk in ferries without car that is pay nothing.

Rio-Antirio bridge is a spectacular bridge spanning the Corinth gulf at its western end, just by the city of Patras. Four enormous Delta shaped pillars holding massive cables connect the Peloponnese with mainland Greece and it was built just before the 2004 Olympics in Athens. However, crossing the bridge is very expensive - 13,50 Euros for a minute-two drive. Therefore, for all those not in a hurry (and why should you be on your vacation) I suggest taking the ferry instead. They're just beneath the bridge in both towns - Rio and Antirio, depart every 20-30 min. The journey is around 20 min and costs double cheaper - 6,50 Euros for the car with all passengers included. Views from the ferry are much better than those from the bridge itself
-
Use the ferry if you want to save money. If your vehicle is over 2m tall you pay €21 The ferry is €10 and a bit more fun. Bridge looks nice at night though.
-
Great architecture. Fantastic view. It's really good to see amazing piece of modern architecture and construction in Grece, now.
-
A world class bridge with panoramic views. We wanted to capture the best view of the bridge, so we drove to a place near the ferry terminal to take some photos. We used this bridge when we were driving to Patras and out from Patras. A bit expensive but fast and convenient.
