A nine day travel through the backbone mountains of Greece. Drive out of the highways, on remote secondary asphalt and gravel roads and visit the scenic villages of the “highlands”.

The ancient and recent history of Greece is waiting for you: to visit the exact spots that history was made.

The days will start early in the morning, the adventure is ahead!

You will be driving a 4X4 car with your friends, in a convoy. An experienced tour guide will escort you to the mountain tops, forests and lakes, and by the end of the day a traditional Greek diner and a first class Hotel will be waiting for you.

Every day there will be one or more destinations of interest, where we will spend some quality time (a certificated guide will be there - where needed, to show you round).

The day schedule will be tight, we will have many kilometers to drive on a diverse and difficult terrain, so a coffee and a quick lunch brake will be made “on the spot” during the day.
