Wonderful video, yes! You always manage to find the right music :-)) This bridge is most interesting, but seems to be a bit frightening to pass.

Interesting little page about Patras. The Rio-Antirio Bridge looks amazing, although the construction of the link cables was probably a bit faulty. :-)

Thank you to outline the good side of Patras! I have always escaped Patras as soon as our ferry landed ans was not tempted to visit! The Rio-Andirio bridge is a stunning realization by Vinci, the same (French) company, that built the Millau viaduct.

I was really impressed by the bridge and the amount of yearly expansion in the Gulf of Corinth, Sergey. Will they have to add more deck in a few years? St Andrew Cathedral also is very imposing.

Another outstanding page, Sergey! You cover the history, religion, and commercial aspects very well. Fascinating information about the Rio-Antirio Bridge, which, by the way, is breathtaking. St. Andrew Cathedral is lovely.
