Bridge over Messina?

We were on the Azamara Quest Sept 20...does anyone know where and the name of the bridge we went under one evening...we just fit under it with a few feet to spare...???

I must have missed that bridge. When on the cruise was that?

It would not be to Messina as there is only a ferry from mainland Italy to Sicily.

The Rion-Antirion bridge (Greek: Γέφυρα Ρίου-Αντιρρίου), officially the Charilaos Trikoupis bridge after the statesman who first envisioned it, is the World's longest multi-span cable-stayed bridge. It crosses the Gulf of Corinth near Patras, linking the town of Rion on the Peloponnese to Antirion on mainland Greece.

 

We passed under it after we left Itea at about 9Pm.

Thanks Eileen,

No wonder we did not see it as we were of the ship then.

If (and when) I get to it, I will post a couple pictures from Meteora; I am afraid they will be no match for your pictures :).
