Rio-Antirio

The Greek magic! The Rion-Antirio bridge. Apparently named 'Charilaos Trikoupis' after the Greek prime minister who envisioned it.

Its five-span four-pylon cable-stayed portion of length 2,252 meters (7,388 ft) is the world's second longest cable-stayed deck; only the deck of the Millau Viaduct is longer at 2,460 meters (8,071 ft)
