    But OK, you can be confident that through E75 you will avoid traffic.
    I think if you get the exit towards Atalanti, then you can reach Zeli and walk from stage end.
    I do not think that it will be a restriction.
    Thanks! we will try this option and go to the fast section before tarmac of the end of the stage.

    We are also going to do SS2,4,6 on Friday. I'm still undecided on where to go for SS2,4. Was thinking maybe going up towards the start of the stage and going west past the "war memorial" and up towards that hairpin area?

    I think Saturday we are going to try and do SS7-->SS9-->Service park to watch the service-->SS12. Seem doable?

    And big thanks to NOT and everyone else on here for providing such good info!!!! Much appreciated as a first time WRC spectator!

    I think it is too much for Saturday.
    7-9-Service-12. The driving distance is big.
    At least you should be at a place that you can safely walk out of the stages early, during action.

    I would recommend 7 (Pavliani 1) 10-12 (Eleftherohori 1-2), not Service.

    I am sceptical about the pavliani access... i am almost certain that some low suspension car is going to get stuck and could end in disaster for a lot of people.

    In general the organisers did a terrible job with the access roads this year... they are very few and the crowds should be massive after 8 years without a WRC... traffic on access roads can be a real problem.

    I will go the conservative way.. 2 stages and 1 service on friday and 2 stages on saturday... i will access pavliani from the start 3-4 hours before the stage starts.. if they open the stage after the first pass i will go to eleftherochori.. if not i will stay in pavliani and watch from a different spot.

    I was actually thinking about this. Looks like it might make more sense to just go to the start of SS7 and maybe hike back a bit versus trying to go all the way up that road towards "pyre of hercules".

    well the early parts of ss7 are not that interesting plus they are in the forest so visibility is limited... pyre of hercules is totally worth it and there are many places you can spectate plus usually its packed so you can have a taste of the acropolis atmosphere.. but its up to you.

    you can enter the stage from the start with your car around 3-4 hours before it starts and drive up to the pyre... there are plenty of parking spots there since its a valley.

    Loutraki

    2 interesting sports very close to the start
    at 0.3km the cars go where the car if facing

    at 0.6kms there is a very wide fast left hander with a bump on the inside that they will go over

    just one question about Loutraki, is there any water left in the river crossings on this stage (close to the end)?

    and thx for your work! hope to meet you in some Hairpin

    A bit of rain these days I see, but not enough to really have a big influence on the stages probably?

    I am also sceptical about the Pavliani (Pyra Hercules) access, for the same reasons.

    But I do not believe that the early part of the stage 7 is that bad.
    I mean OK is not that good, like in the valley of Pyra Hercules, but between 3 km - 4 km of the stage you can find some quite nice fast spots.
    I believe that if they cannot be that early (4 hours) in the stage in order to drive it, they can walk from the start to 3 km - 4 km and spectate from a decent (not perfect) spot.
