Day 10 - Ancona - landing and conclusion of the tour and services

In the footsteps of the Gods, in Greece, with a ten-day tour full of visits of great interest between naturalistic, cultural and historical sites and daily trips on the saddle of your motorbike. The departure by ship, with your vehicle in tow, is scheduled from the port of Ancona and the landing in Igoumenitsa, after a night of navigation.

It begins with a stop in Ioannina, the capital of Epirus bathed by the waters of Lake Pamvotis to arrive in Metsovo, a characteristic mountain town known for woodworking and wine production. The first day ends in Kalambaka, a delightful town downstream from the Meteora complex. Here a spectacular landscape awaits you made of huge granite rocks, namely the Meteora Monasteries, from the Byzantine era, where you can admire historical and religious artifacts.

Wild nature welcomes you on the slopes of Mount Parnassus at an altitude of 2,000 meters above sea level, for an exciting descent on your motorbike towards Arachova and Delphi, with an optional visit to the archaeological site and museum.

Traveling on the coast at the edge of the Gulf of Corinth you will reach Thebes and Athens, the capital, and leaving the motorbike in the garage, you can visit the architectural beauties of ancient Greece, from the Acropolis to the Parthenon, passing through the temple of Zeus, and the Plaka.

A stop for a swim in the crystal clear waters awaits you in Loutra before visiting Epidaurus and its ancient theatre. Once you get off the bike, a nice walk awaits you to stretch your legs in Nauplio, among fortresses, neoclassical architecture, and churches.

And off again through the wonderful nature with the historic cogwheel train, starting from Diakopto to reach Kalavryta, with a view of enchanting landscapes, between canyons, rivers and forests.

After crossing the Poseidon Bridge, between the villages of Aitoliko, Astakos and Mytikas, you will arrive at the island of Lefkada where you can choose whether to take a pleasant boat trip to the islands.

Along the coast you will cross the ancient villages of Preveza, Kanali, Ammoudia, Parga and Sivota to finally return to Igoumenitsa where boarding awaits you for your return to Italy.
