“In the past we were divided by the sea,
whereas now we are united by the bridge.”
Christos Liakopoulos, Mayor of Rio,
and Giorgos Kolovos, Mayor of Antirrio
In the past, when the mayors
of Rio and Antirrio wanted to discuss something, they usually had
to content themselves with a phone call, and if they wanted to
meet, one of them had to take a time-consuming ferry trip. Now,
however, the journey from one town hall to the other takes less
than ten minutes. “For everybody here, the bridge is much more
than just a road link,” explains Christos Liakopoulos, Mayor of Rio.
“The bridge brings us closer together,” confirms Giorgos Kolovos,
Mayor of Antirrio, giving his colleague a friendly pat on the shoulder
– something else he couldn’t have done in a phone call.
