An unforgettable 1200km adventure

Our tour grows up 6 stages with an overall route of approximately 1200 km,
accompanied by Guide HAT AICS MOTOCICLISMO certificate and Gentleman pilot Cesare Zacchetti,
a van for assistance, luggage transport and motorcycle recovery.

Overnight stay in selected accommodations: 3/4 star hotels, to offer you relaxation and comfort after a day of driving.

Savoring local specialties makes the trip even more memorable. Greece offers an authentic culinary experience: to save time on the bike, we'll follow a pattern of light lunches offset by convivial dinners over a good glass of wine, always in traditional and characteristic eateries.

ALL-INCLUSIVE FORMULA: zero thoughts, only emotions!
Live the adventure, we'll take care of the rest!

Get ready for a truly special trip, with the all-inclusive formula in the company of the Gentleman pilot of the Dakar, Cesare Zacchetti. We will explore a part of Europe that is close by, but will seem very far away, immersed in breathtaking landscapes and fascinating cultures.
An unmissable experience for lovers of Adven tourismtourEng, lovers of single- and twin-cylinder motorcycles, eager to put them to the test in a unique setting with the highest percentage of unsurfaced roads in Europe (along with Spain, see dedicated trip).

With this trip, we wanted to give all enthusiasts the opportunity to cross a lesser-known part of Greece, with an itinerary that touches the regions of the Peloponnese along the island of Euboea, to then return to the continent and reach Patras.
The route will be partly on asphalt for short transfers, but mostly on "roads" and dirt tracks with medium difficulty levels: very varied surfaces, tending to be stony.
It is not technically difficult, but moderately challenging due to the distance of the stages and the rocky stretches that characterize some mountainous areas of Greece (reaching 2200 meters), during which you will be rewarded with very varied environments and panoramas (mountains, lakes, plateaus, forests) and reaching our accommodation in the evening in small towns or villages on the coast.

 How to do it:

  • Groups of 8/10 riders led by a motorbike guide + Cesare Zacchetti.
  • Trip duration: 6 days of motorcycle plus transfer (plane to Athens or ship from Ancona).
