Description
Beach, sea, mountains and marvellous olive groves make Greece unmistakable. And much is already known about Greece's culture. The people are open and welcoming. And after a good dinner with a wonderful glass of house wine and an exuberant atmosphere, you might find yourself on the dance floor and be so happy that you can't tell whether you've eaten a sirtaki and are now dancing a souvlaki or vice versa.
The road landscape of northern Greece is a dream. Good grip, varied routes,
embedded in a unique landscape. You will experience sections that invite you to cruise and then take
Mountain roads again, whose winding landscape will make your heart beat faster. This journey takes you
From Graz through Serbia and North Macedonia into the mountains of Northern Greece and
further to the coast of the Ionian Sea and to the northernmost tip of the Peloponnese. From here
you drive through central Greece to Meteora and feel your way towards the highest mountain range in Greece: Mount Olympus. After a rest day on the Olympus Riviera, you cycle around the mighty
mountain massif and the seat of the gods and be inspired once again by the rugged mountain world of northern Greece. The return journey through Albania, Montenegro and Bosnia and Herzegovina will take you
until you return to the tour start location near Graz with many impressive memories.

Once the centre of the world, today Delphi is a popular weekend destination for winter sports enthusiasts between January and March. But of course it is best known for the "Oracle of Delphi" and the excavations of the ancient sanctuary of Apollo, which are considered to be the most beautiful and impressive in Greece.
