The first edition of the 1000 Miglia Experience Greece ended with a triumphant arrival in the heart of Athens, at the foot of the majestic Acropolis. Four intense days, over 1,000 kilometres of driving and more than 30 international teams brought the spirit of the legendary Red Arrow to a new, extraordinary adventure in the heart of Greece. An experience that combined a passion for cars with a spirit of discovery, travelling through landscapes that blend legend, culture and genuine Greek hospitality.
The Ferrari 488 Pista of the Italian crew Macario-Di Costanzo, the OM 665 Sport MM of the San Marino and Luxembourg crew Wetz-Galloni and the Lancia Fulvia of the Japanese crew Matsuba-Matsuba took the top places on the podium in the first edition of the race.
After a day dedicated to preparing the crews and fine-tuning the vehicles, the race took place over four intense days.
Wednesday 8 October: Athens → Nafplio
The event officially kicked off from one of the most iconic places in the world: the Acropolis of Athens, a symbol of history and civilisation. After stopping in Elefsina and crossing the Corinth Canal, the convoy arrived in picturesque Nafplio, welcomed by the lively atmosphere of the historic centre and the enthusiasm of the public.
Thursday 9 October: Nafplio → Pylos
After a regularity trial in the characteristic Arcadian village of Kollines, the crews reached Sparta, the cradle of ancient Greek military power, for the Passage Control. From there, the route continued through Kalamata to Pylos, where the sunset provided one of the most stunning views of the entire race.
Friday 10 October: Pylos → Agioi Theodoroi
Crossing the lands of Messenia, ancient Olympia and the stone village of Levidi, the third leg took the crews along the hairpin bends of Mount Mainalo and through the vineyards of Nemea, until they reached Agioi Theodoroi.
Saturday 11 October: Agioi Theodoroi → Athens
The grand finale began with a Time Trial on the Megara Circuit, followed by a pleasant lunch break overlooking the sea at Glyfada. In the afternoon, the route reached the southernmost point of the Attica peninsula, with a picturesque passage near the Temple of Poseidon and a panoramic stop at Olympic Marine. The return to Athens symbolically closed the circle, culminating in an exclusive evening at Dionysos Zonar’s: a gala dinner overlooking the illuminated Parthenon, the perfect setting to celebrate the end of the event.
