Korte feiten: Spanning 2,880 meters, this bridge holds the title as one of the world's longest multi-span cable-stayed bridges. Its 8 supporting pylons stretch down to depths of up to 65 meters below sea level, anchoring it firmly in one of the planet's most seismically active zones.
Hoogtepunten: Its design cleverly accommodates the region’s strong earthquakes and shifting seabed, allowing slight movements without damage. Standing on the bridge, you can watch the shimmering Gulf of Corinth waters ripple beneath and see ships threading through its immense clearance of 65 meters.
Insidertips
- Wear comfortable walking shoes for exploring viewpoints around the bridge.
- Capture photos from the southern viewpoint during golden hour for vibrant colors.
- Avoid weekends if possible to skip peak traffic and crowds.
- Bring binoculars to watch ships sail under the main spans up close.
