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.

A yacht that completely rewrites what a 295-foot superyacht can look and feel like. Built in 2020 by @ulsteingroup, Olivia O is one of the very few private yachts to feature the signature X-Bow design—a forward-sloping bow traditionally reserved for commercial ships navigating the harshest seas. This isn't just for looks-it's a purposeful innovation that reduces pitching, enhances fuel efficiency, and ensures greater stability in rough conditions. Her profile is unmistakable: angular, industrial, and fiercely futuristic. With a 52.5-foot (16-meter) beam, she boasts a massive volume of 4,989 GT, making space for amenities like a cinema, gym, wellness center, and an entire owner's deck. And unlike most yachts of this size, she's powered by twin Caterpillar diesel-electric engines—a rare feature that allows for smoother, quieter cruising and better energy distribution. With exterior styling by @espen.oeino and interiors by @droulersarchitecture, Olivia O is a true fusion of Scandinavian minimalism and Italian sophistication. A yacht for someone who wants to stand apart-not just in size, but in vision. @yachtworld
