OffRoad Tour Schedule

Day 1 – Arrival & First Taste of Epirus

Igoumenitsa → Ioannina → Tzoumerka Mountains (Vourgareli)

The expedition begins at the port of Igoumenitsa, the main gateway for participants arriving by ferry from Italy.
After a short briefing, we head inland towards Ioannina, leaving asphalt behind and gradually entering the rugged landscapes of Epirus.

Mountain routes lead us deep into the Tzoumerka range, passing through traditional villages such as Pramanta, Agnanta and Melissourgoi.
The day sets the tone of the expedition: technical driving, wild scenery, and the first true off-road kilometers.
Overnight stay in Vourgareli, surrounded by mountains and silence.

Day 2 – Rivers, Mountains & Remote Trails

Vourgareli → Achelous River → Lake Plastira

Today we explore one of the most untouched areas of mainland Greece.
Off-road tracks guide us towards the legendary Achelous River, where gravel roads, riverbanks and open landscapes create a demanding but rewarding driving day.

The terrain constantly changes, testing both vehicle capability and driver skill.
By late afternoon, we climb towards the serene setting of Lake Plastira, where forests and panoramic views replace the raw river environment.
Overnight stay near Lake Plastira.

Day 3 – Forest Roads & Alpine Routes

Lake Plastira → Pyli → Elati → Pertouli

The route heads east through Pyli (Trikala) and into dense mountain forests.
This is a day dedicated to flowing off-road driving: long forest tracks, elevation changes and high-altitude routes around Elati and Pertouli.

Cool mountain air, endless green landscapes and technical sections make this one of the most enjoyable driving days of the expedition.
Overnight stay in Elati, ideal for recovery after a full day behind the wheel.

Day 4 – Meteora & Northern Mountains

Elati → Kalambaka → Meteora → Grevena

From alpine forests, we descend towards Kalambaka, where the dramatic rock formations of Meteora dominate the horizon.
Off-road routes offer unique perspectives of this world-famous landscape, blending natural beauty with driving challenge.

The journey continues north towards Grevena, through lesser-known mountain paths and remote areas rarely seen by visitors.
Overnight stay in the wider Meteora area.

Day 5 – Pindos Mountains & High Altitude Driving

Grevena → Metsovo → Aoos Lake → Zagori → Metsovo

A true highlight of the expedition.
We enter the heart of the Pindos mountain range, passing through Metsovo and climbing towards the spectacular Aoos Lake.

High-altitude off-road routes lead us through Eastern and Western Zagori, including areas such as Vovousa and Ano Pedina, known for their wild beauty and isolation.
This is a demanding day, rewarding skilled driving with some of the best scenery in Greece.
Overnight stay in Metsovo.

Day 6 – Return to Epirus & Departure

Metsovo → Zagori → Ioannina

The final day offers a relaxed but scenic drive back through Zagori towards Ioannina.
A perfect closing chapter, allowing drivers to enjoy the landscapes one last time before departure.

No overnight stay is included on this day, as participants prepare for their return journey.
