Day 2: Athens - Corinth - Canal - Githio

Bows towards the heart of ancient Greece and the masing Palenoponnese peninsula. Our first stop is at the historical Corinth Canal! And after Corinth Canal you start to get a good idea of why the ancient gods where smiling when they where riding the roads of Palenoponnese with they hevenly vehicles thousand of years ago!

Day 3: Githio - Kalamata - Olympia

If you smiled widly inside your helmet yesterday, today you smile even more in the first couple of hours of our day. We drive from curve to curve around the magnificent Kokkala Peninsula! And our curly curve party goes on all the way to Kalamata! In Kalamata we eat something and continue to
towards the world's first Olympic city, Olympia, where we will stay for the night!

Day 4: Olympia - Kamenitsa - Patras

And ... today is once again the best driving day ever! The route of the day is not written in stone. Let's see where we are after the lunch break! However, the morning begins with a small hike to the ancient Olympic village of Olympia, where you can practice stadium running, for example! :) And this is still the place where the Olympic flame will be lit and where from it will start move towards the next Olympic games!

Day 5: Patras - Parga - Loannina

Greece is one of the best motorcycling countries in the world ... as you know already! :) And also today, there are more of curves<br />
and more beautiful landscapes than someone from Texas or Denmark can imagine! :) Today we have a lot of Mediterranean seaside on the clutch handle side! Among the pearls of the day is Parga! If a city in Greece were to be named Gingerbread House City, then Parga! From Parga we drive towards historic Ioannina, where we will stay for two nights!

Day 6: Loannina

Day of as you like! Ioannina and especially its old part is a nice place to enjoy the unbearable lightness of life! However, if you want to enjoy the unbearably fun twists and turns of Greece, go visit Papingo with your tour tourleader!

Day 7: Loannina - Meteroa - Kalambaka

Surprise surprise! In the program today is your best biking day ever<br />
... again! :) But we believe that you can handle it! We drive through the magnificent Pindos Natural Park to its western edge, from where we head towards one of the most special places in Greece, Meteora! Which is famous for its scenic monasteries. We are staying overnight in little Kalambaka, which is just next to Meteora!

Kalambaka is facing unique table<br />
table mountains and during the times 24 monasteries have been built on the tops of them. Today 6 of remaining 20 monasteries are active!<br />
We visited Meteora yesterday when we came, but your tourleader is just happy to take a sunrise ride up to the monasteries if there is any other early birds!<br />
After Kalabaka / Meteora, we will drive to the Kozias ski area, from where to, no more and no less than to the hub of the world! In ancient Delphi was considered the pole of the world, and the oracles were asked to know of the future harvest as well as of the luck in the war!<br />

Athens as you like ... and a wild guess is, that if you have not been to Acropolis, that will be the main destanation of the day! :) It’s also fun to get lost in a gorgeous old town which have very many faces! And... there are also a few museums in Athens if you are interested!

Day 12: Athens - Departure day

Back to the home day! Every time is a good time to fly home today ... if you do not stay here for an extra day or two... or if you came from overseas, you might like to visit some great Greece island... or some other country in Europe!?
