I was ready to leave Astakos after spending three nights there. First half of the ride was pretty nice but nothing spectacular. The second half was on busy roads and I managed to bypass some of it by getting on back roads.
Of course the first sighting of the Peloponnese and the Gulf of Corinth was exciting. Crossing the Rio-Antirrio bridge was also quite interesting. It is one of the biggest bridges and the view is great.
After I checked into a hotel in Patras I went out for a fish dinner. I was surprised how many young people are out and about in the Patras town. Probably because there are 3 Universities here.
