Almost 1,200 kilometres of breathtaking scenery and 56 crews from 16 countries: 1000 Miglia Experience Greece 2026<\/strong><\/a>, the licensed event that takes the authentic spirit of the Red Arrow beyond national borders, came to a close on Saturday 3 October.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Following technical and administrative checks, the convoy passed through towns such as Tripoli, Ancient Olympia, Kyparissia, Kalamata, Sparta, Mystras, Kollines, Nafplio, Porto Heli, and finally Vouliagmeni. A marvellous journey through the beauty and mythology of a country rich in history and passion, whilst never losing sight of the sporting spirit inherent in a 1000 Miglia event.<\/p>\n\n\n
