Hello dear Steemians !!! Today I will do a little wandering in the city of Patras!! Patra is the capital of the prefecture of Achaia, in Peloponisos, and is the third largest city in Greece after Athens and Thessaloniki. The port of Patras has routes to the Greek Islands of Kefalonia, Ithaca and Corfu and also to Italy (Bari-Ancona Venice). In the suburb of Patras, Rio, there is the Rio-Antirio Bridge that connects Peloponnesus with Western Mainland Greece. Of course, Patra is also famous for its carnival!!
