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.

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.

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.
formula e foruns talking more and more about a hyundai rumor. wec hyperclass also being talked around. could we lose factory team in wrc? they have this new costumer program so i think we could still...
