Everything about Greek National Road 5 totally explained
Greek National Road 5 is a highway in Western Greece. It runs from 2 km south of
Rio at
GR-8/
GR-9 (westbound), or at the beginning of the Patras By-Pass in the south up to the city centre of
Ioannina. It is now connected with a new bridge, the
Rio-Antirio bridge and for 5 km is a joint with
GR-48 and
E65. For the entire length, it's part of
E55. Now the highway is divided from south of Rio to west of Antirio, and near Fragouleika.
It runs on the east side of the
Ambracian Gulf from Amfilochia to the Arta-

Old Arta bridge and north of Arta. The highway has a tunnel between Arta and Ioannina.
