“Some people take the trip across the bridge just to go<br />

window shopping or have a coffee.”<br />

Dimitris Stavropoulos, bus driver Before the bridge was built, you thought hard<br />

about whether your trip was really necessary. Then, if you wanted to go from<br />

Antirrio to Rio and on to the nearest large town of Patras, taking the ferry was your<br />

only option. “The whole journey took over two hours,” remembers bus driver<br />

Dimitris Stavropoulos. “Now we can do it in half an hour.” The trip across the<br />

bridge is part of daily life now, with commuters and tourists alike making use of<br />

the enormous structure. Stavropoulos guesses he has made about 7,000 trips<br />

across the bridge – it’s hard to conceive how long he would have needed to<br />

make those trips by ferry.<br />
