For the Saturday of this years Acropolis Rallye of Greece, I went to an already known spot in the Loutraki area at the Gulf of Corinth. Or as I call it the “Valley of snakes”. Not that I have ever seen a snake there, it is just a running gag within the group of travellers. The stage’S surface is pretty rough. I have seen many punctures, ripped of tyres, broken rims and lost body work of the cars.

Upper three pictures were taken on SS9, the lower three on SS11. Again, the same stage, driven twice.

A set of pictures I took on day 1 of this years Acropolis Rallye of Greece, the Rally of Gods. All photos where taken on stages 1 and 4, which actual is one stage, driven twice.

I wasn’t the best place for taking photos but the scenery was quite nice. Up in the mountains near the village of Pavliani. Usually you won’t think about green mountains, full of forrest when thinking about Greece. At least not in first place.

…of my trip to the Acropolis Rallye of Greece in September last year. Something I haven’t done before, but this post will contain more than one photo. All are taken at the Karoutes stage (8/11) on Saturday.
Again it was a perfect event and a perfect weekend and as always, a pleasure to have been there.

As you might know, there is always a purpose behind travelling to rallyes: taking pictures in the dust. It all started at the 2006 Acropolis Rallye of Greece, went over to Rally Italia Sardegna on the beautiful island of Sardinia and in this year I finally went back to the Rallye of Gods in Greece.
In this picture: Thierry Neuville in his Hyundai i20 Coupe WRC at stage 8 on Saturday morning. This stage was near the town of Itea, located on the north coast of the Gulf of Corinth.

After sad and/or unlucky circumstances in the past years, this years trip to another WRC event was the first time, where we went as a complete travel group again. Exciting for me, as we finally went back to the Rallye of Gods, the famous Acropolis Rally of Greece. Haven’t been in Attika since 2013, the last event before this rallye got ditched from the WRC calendar.
The first thing we usually do after arrival: grocery shopping and visiting downtown Athens to enjoy the strange atmosphere in that city and going up Philopappou Hill to catch the view over to the Acropolis.
