Ankunft in Athen

Fertig zur Abfahrt ...
... mit einem kurzen Kaffee-Stop ...
... und einem wunderbaren Vollmond in Ancona ...
... bis zur Ankunft in Athen!
Herzlich Willkommen! Tolles erstes Abendessen!

Tag 1: Athen nach Arachova

Wir verlassen Athen, fahren unsere ersten kurvigen Bergstraßen, gewöhnen uns an die Motorräder und die Kurven und genießen die Landschaft. Eine Kaffeepause in einem kleinen Dorf, mehr kurvige Straßen, atemberaubende Aussichten auf die unter uns liegende Küste, ein eintausend Jahre altes Kloster in einer wunderschönen Landschaft: Herzlich Willkommen in Griechenland! Am Nachmittag wandern wir durch das weltbekannte Delphi, besuchen den Nabel der den Griechen bekannten Welt und stehen vor dem Tempel des Apollon, dort, wo damals das berühmte Orakel von Delphi befragt wurde. Was für ein eindrucksvoller erster Tag!

Unser Plan für die nächsten zwei Wochen.
