How are the roads for drivers? Nice and rough? Good to photograph?
Also, access to stages - I was told you don't need a 4WD just a normal hatchback car would do.

Access is easy indeed. No need for a 4x4. We really liked it last year and will be back this year :)
Had a quick look at the Rally Guide, quite a lot of driving, but it has to be possible to do 12 stages easily; Shakedown, Nightstage, 4 on Friday, 4 on Saturday and 3 on Sunday :)
Friday is definitely easier to plan than last year.
How many stages in one day? I will look at guide tomorrow. If 6 I would/could do 5!!
How much driving is needed? Hah
you will drive a lot that is for sure...especially this year.Quote:

about spectating depends what you are after really....if you want to follow the athenian sheep and go to the places the guide recomends then 3 is a good target without much stress (you will have to skip the bottom entries though)
If you want to go through the stages 1-2 days before or earlier to find your own place then 2 stages and maybe 3 but in one stage you will have to follow the guide (to have an easy go in-get out)
not all places of the guide are terrible...1-2 are ok or they are close to some ok palces (walking 1-2 kms max)...but the majority are boring.
It also depends what you want to watch...one thing that is great about acropolis rally is that it has a big variety of road conditions and road speeds...

Appreciate your feedback :)
yes the spectator guide which is published online around 1 month before the event is very detailed and comes with a rally-style roadbook for the directions.Quote:

Schedule looks good, was hoping that the shakedown was the same as last 2 times as I really liked it, but should still be good. Shame also they have switched the refuel on day 2 to after Kefalari as it might mean missing it due to 20 mins less road section :(
