36 Hours Tour of Greece
(9&10 May 1998)
This is an idea of the Hellenic Moto Guzzi club during our
usual Monday Souvlaki meeting, with the help of good food and local wine.
The idea is about making a tour around Greece
passing through all mainland's distinct areas. (Sterea Ellada, Peloponesse
, Epirus, Macedonia, Thraki, Thessalia) It couldn't pass through our islands
because then we would be a sailing club. All kind of bikes are welcome.
The starting and ending point will be Athens with an overnight
stop in the city of Xanthi. The total covered distance will be a
little more than 2000 Km. In order to keep it challenging the 60 % of the
distance will be in national and country roads, every participant will
choose an average speed, according his bike, skills and confidence,
which he must hold as precise as he can. But in no circumstance he is allowed
to violate the laws. The tour is offering a nice site seeing through interesting
sites as Korinth channel, Ioannina city, Metsovo Traditional village, Katara
pass in the mountains, Meteora cliffs, Tembi valley, a narrow pass through
the mountain Olympus and Kissavos.
This is wonderful opportunity to see Greece
from all aspects, some well known places, as well the unknown. Greece due
to its geography is offering to the voyager alternate views of mountainous
and shore terrain. We have chosen the route of this tour in such a manner
that every one who will participate will have the opportunity to enjoy
this variety of changing pictures.
There will be an award for the most precise drivers.
This event is organized for the first time in Greece and we want
to repeat it every year, we would be very pleased to see participants from
other countries.
