From Ancient Routes to Modern Marvels: Discover the Rio-Antirrio Strait The Patras Bridge (Rio-Antirrio Bridge) is located at the strait of Rio-Antirrio, at the transition between the Gulf of Patras and the Gulf of Corinth. The first person to officially cross the Rio-Antirrio Bridge was a torchbearer as part of the Olympic Torch Relay for the 2004 Athens Olympic Games. The Rio-Antirrio Bridge is one of the world’s longest multi-span cable-stayed bridges. • It connects the Peloponnese peninsula (Rio) with mainland Greece (Antirrio), near the city of Patras. • Officially opened in August 2004, just before the Athens Olympic Games. • Named after Charilaos Trikoupis, a 19th-century Greek Prime Minister who first proposed the idea of such a bridge.
There are 200 steps leading up to the chapel. During the filming on Skopelos, there were power outages because the film crew used so much lighting and equipment. Although the actual filming lasted only about seven days, preparations took place over a period of more than three months. The chapel’s location is on a rock – at the very end of the island. In the script, the path to it was described as “just a short walk.” In reality, it was a logistical nightmare that consumed entire shooting days. The Greek extras in the film were often actual islanders, including fishermen and shopkeepers.
Energetic, youthful, and perfect for those who want a mix of nature and fun. Skopelos gained international fame as one of the filming locations for the hit movie Mamma Mia! — especially the beautiful chapel of Agios Ioannis Kastri perched on a cliff. Skiathos has over 60 beautiful beaches, including Koukounaries, often ranked among Greece’s best beaches with golden sand and turquoise water.
