Hellas TT
Hellas TT 2021
1-11 July
Road and outsideroad
Each adversity contains the seed of an equivalent benefit …
For the second year in a row, cause Covid, we have to give up our beloved "BalkansTT": so many borders, and for each of them too many unknowns – we will return to the 2022!
So what, what better opportunity to launch an itinerary that for too long has been chipping in the drawer, and that last year we tested with great satisfaction!
A formidable route through central Greece, from the Lefkada Peninsula to the mouths
of the Acheronte, from the road of thermopylae - on which still the spirit of the 300 Heroes- to the hermit sanctity of meteors.
Two versions: one for enduro motorcycle, on long sliding dirt sprayed here and there of some more technical passage, and one for road bikes of fine pleasantness; and then you find yourself in the evening in front of tables packed with all the best flavors of the Mediterranean!
If you've already had your mouth watered, well, here you are served the full menu of 10 days of a fabulous trip!
day 1 – 01/07, Thursday: meeting place at the port of Ancona with boarding at the 19.30;
