Day 2 of the Olympia Rally! Today’s 230 km stage is a true test of navigation and endurance, taking participants through the dense Foloi Forest and the tricky Pinios River Valley, a stage that took over 6-12 hours to complete. This demanding leg requires constant focus and expert navigation.
Foloi Forest: Covering 33,000 square meters on Mount Foloi, Foloi Forest is one of Europe’s oldest self-planted beech and oak forests. According to mythology, it was home to centaurs and fairies and is named after the centaur king, Pholus, who hosted Hercules.
