Dimos Amfilochia

On leaving Patras, we drove over the Rio-Antirrio Bridge. Famous, as it is one of the world’s longest multi-spanned cable-stayed bridges. It connects the town of Rio, on the Peloponnese Peninsular, to Antirrio on mainland Greece, and as a result has increased the overall economic benefit to the area.
We stopped in Arta for a refreshment break, where we saw the historic Arta Bridge. Maree popped into a tiny little house/shed that was actually a museum, very interesting. Leaving there, we drove to beautiful Loannina Lake for lunch.
Leaving Loannina Lake, we travelled to a nearby beef farm. This was a very entertaining visit, as all the information had to be translated three times - from Greek to Rumanian to Albanian, and then finally, we received the information in English.
Check in at Kalambaka after a big hilly drive up and over and through mountains. Lots of tunnels.Leia mais
