OLYMPIA RALLY 2023 NEW EDITION
Hello Olympia Rally friends and fans!
Good news for 2023 edition!
Olympia Rally is moving North, changing town, starting point and tracks!
We will start our race at Kalavryta, the famous historic town of Peloponnese!
Beautiful surroundings, riding on the ridge of the hills beside the town,
going to the Ski center of Helmos Mountain “playing” with the snow,
and then laying down the seaside area of Corinthian Gulf!
Last days we move to Olympia through Erymanthos Mountain, Ladonas River,
and Foloi National Park Forest.
We finish at the lovely place we started a couple of years ago… in the Ancient Place of Olympic Games!
Six days of Rally Raid on the Peloponnese mountains, in a perfect terrain, and a marvelous organization!
Take a view of the amazing town of Kalavrita here
