A fantastic route to immediately see the country and people.

If you fancy a rest/drink/food on the way from Athens there is a nice pit stop immediately after you pass through the mountain tunnel, after turn-offs to Nafplio but before Tripoli. Its a large gas station but has decent food & fantastic views. Its about halfway on the route (between 4 & 5 on the instructions below).
