I know it connects a part of Greece to Europe, but which part?
Thanks for the help!

The Rio-Antirio bridge (Greek: Γέφυρα Ρίου-Αντίρριου) is a cable-stayed bridge near Patra on the Peloponnese, linking the towns of Rio and Antirrio on the western mainland Greece, thus connecting with the rest of Europe.
The bridge dramatically improves access to and from the Peloponnese, which could previously be reached only by ferry or via the isthmus of Corinth at its extreme east end.

What none of your answerers have stated is that the bridge is a technological marvel, as well being a beautiful piece of architecture.
See link 1 for a photo and link 2 for an interactive image.

See a video of that beautiful bridge taken from a ship passenger who traveled from Patra to Venice.
