Hmm. Looking at the Google Earth data it looks like it might be easiest to do SS7--->SS10--->SS11 on Saturday....

Anybody with local knowledge: Is it reasonable to think that I could park just East of Kallithea and park and be able to see all 3 stages? (SS2--->SS3--->SS4) (See map)
Or, should I just go further East to the SS2+4 access road and just hang out there for just SS2+SS4?

There's 53 minutes between the 2 stages. Usually on a WRC gravel event like this one there will be 3 or 4 minutes between WRC cars. So after seeing only the 10 works WRC cars 30 or 40 minutes have already passed. Leaving either 23 or 13 minutes to move from one stage to the other. Walk to the car, drive (short drive, it's true), and walk again... I'm not saying it's impossible, but it largely depends on the number of spectators (how far you have to park on both stages), the gap between WRC-cars and the drive-ability of the road in between. I think I'd stick with choosing some good spots for SS2 and 4. Better to find some great spot for 2 stages than have 3 stages with "average" action you already forgot after a few days.

That makes sense. Thanks for the advice. This being my first time in Greece and first time WRC event I'm trying to plan the best I can.

Quality vs quantity, if you know good spots, try it! But if you find a good spot in the first stage it could be better to see r5 cars there than wrc in a bad spot! Goood luck!

Great point! I know nothing about any of the spots in Greece but I'm doing some good research right now!
