Here s a reminder...
In June 13, 14, 15, and 16 is the Greek bikers meeting at Chalkidiki, in a
camping of the National Tourist Organization at Epanomi.
Many music groups, mainly Greek rock bands and Blues, like Blues wire, Ziggy
was, Jimmy Panousis, Soul fire and more, Moto looks contest, Moto Ralys and
other things are organized.
Those of you who are thinking of comming to Greece for this or other events,
here is some info...
I think the best way to come to Greece is from Italy (I beleive that anybody
understands why it is better to avoid Albania or Yougoslavia...)
Since the Italian Autostrada is a bit expencive, it is better to get on a
ship as north as possible, unless you are interested on doing some Tourism
in Italy.
So, there are ships leaving from Venice and from Ancona for Greece.
In Greece they arrive either in Patras either through Corfou and Igoumenitsa
or with out stop. Again, if you are interested in driving through Greece,
maby you would like to get of the ship in Igoumenitsa (At the North-West
corner of Greece)
However, what i suggest is the Superfast Ferrys that arrive from Ancona and
go to Patras straight in only 20 hours.
Prices are : (One way per person)
-> 98,75 DM deck
-> 117,5 DM Aircraft seat type
-> 148,75 DM Dormitories with common WC facilities
-> 173,75 DM AB4 = 4 person cabin with WC - without window
And of course there are other higher prices up to the Lux cabin wich is
392,5 DM.
Bikes -> 61,25 DM one way.
Food is about 22 DM for a meal in the self service restaurand...
Prices go up in the "High season" wich is from 27th June to 3rd August for
Ancona -> Patras and from August 6th to September 7th for Patras -> Ancona.
For example the dormitories then cost about 192,5 DM
Lines are avery day in the evening.
All lines give you a 30% discount for the way back if you by the return
ticket at the same time.
Please remember that prices may differ a bit because of currency exchanging.
All prices are in Greek drs 1DM = 160 DM when i calculated this...
There are also other ships, Minoan Lines, Strintzis Lines and Anek Lines
with about the same prices.
If you take a ship from Venice, it will take you about 39 hours for Patras
or 7 hours less for Igoumenitsa.
Last but not least, remember that in September 5th to September 7th my home
town club (Lamia central Greece ) is organizing the annual enduro meeting in
the feet of mount Oiti.
For the Greeks ammong us, or for any Greek friends you might have, there is
a meeting of all Greek bikers from arround the world at Cyprus arround the
last weekend of Aughust.It will not be a demonstration against the Turkish
ocupation this time, more like a show of power. The organisers are planning
to make the biggest bikers convoy and are hoping to brake the Guines reckord...
Details will be available after the meeting in Chalkidiki.
