Friday, May 29
12:00 PM Arrival: If you have the time, come early on Friday to pitch your tent, meet the crew, and enjoy a beautiful day. The event location is [HERE].
Meteora Sunset Tour: If there is enough interest, we’ll head out for a motorcycle tour of Meteora. We’ll visit a monastery, stop at the most iconic photo spots, and end at Sunset Rock to witness one of the most stunning sunsets in the world.
Duration: 3–4 hours.
Highlights: Insights into the history of monasticism and the unique geological phenomenon of Meteora.
Post-Tour: We’ll head back to Agios Theodosios where the provatina will be waiting for us!

Saturday, May 30
Morning Ritual: We’ll enjoy our morning coffee at the campsite while waiting for the main group of participants to arrive. For breakfast, we’ve coordinated with the best bakery in Kalabaka to have fresh local delicacies ready for us.
The Rides: At 10:00 AM & 12:00 PM, we will form two groups. Those who wish can follow one of the two scheduled routes (check the "Event Summary" for detailed itineraries). Participation is optional—feel free to just chill if you prefer.
The Afternoon Surprise: Later in the day, there might be a surprise that requires us to put our helmets back on... but maybe without turning the key in the ignition. (We’re not spoiling the surprise just yet!)
The Night Plan: We have a plan. It’s organized, and it’s "criminal"... The charcoal gets lit, the tsipouro starts flowing, the speakers crank up, and we’re ready to Let’s Rock It or dive into some traditional Kagelia!
Live Broadcast: If all goes well, we’ll have a Live Stream of the evening hosted by two producers from Dust Radio, our official media sponsor (Ilias Antonopoulos & Litsa Nemesis).
Special Guests: We are working on having two world travelers join us to share stories from their epic journeys on the road.
The Vibe: As long as there’s charcoal and tsipouro, everything else will fall into place!
[!NOTE] The Snoring Patrol: For those who snore (myself included!), there is a designated area to pitch your tents around the perimeter of the event. This serves as a natural deterrent to keep the local wildlife away. We truly care about your safety and we prove it!

Sunday, May 31
Morning Ritual: Coffee and some leftover provatina (slow-roasted lamb). Then it’s bathroom break, packing up tents, cleaning our spot, and loading up our "beasts."
09:00 AM Departure: We say goodbye to Agios Theodosios and head for the mountains (check the summary for the detailed route). We’ll be heading West, finally reaching Kastrosykia, Preveza.
Final Destination: Our final stop is right by the sea! You can find the exact location [here].
The Setup: Following arrangements with local authorities, as well as Mr. Panagiotis—owner of "Ta Platanakia" Tavern and "Medousa" Beach Bar—we’ll be able to pitch our tents on the massive beach. Park your motorcycles in the large, secure tavern parking lot, pocket your keys, and get ready for the night’s event.
Food & Drinks: Homemade dishes? Fresh fish? Legendary zucchini fritters? More provatina? (Are you not full yet?). We’ve got it.
Beach Vibes: A bonfire on the beach with beers and music? Sound like a plan? We’ve got it.
Live Rock: Looking for something extra? Like live rock music? We’ve got that too. The renowned George Gakis will be rocking out just for us.
Night Swim: Absolutely—it's on.
Charity Raffle: We will hold a raffle with as many prizes as we can gather. ALL proceeds will be donated, in the presence of the organizers, to the "Psychargos" Foundation of Preveza, which focuses on the de-institutionalization and social reintegration of individuals with mental health disorders.
Stay: Overnight camping in tents on the beach.
IMPORTANT
Accommodation (Kastrosykia): For those who prefer a room over a tent for Sunday night, please contact Mr. Panagiotis directly at +30 694 446 6747 and mention the event name. We do not handle bookings. You must call and arrange your own stay.
Saturday Evening Special: Travelers' Talk
8:00 PM – 8:30 PM: We will have the honor and pleasure of chatting with Georgios Cholevas and Elisavet about their incredible travel experiences. They are "Motorcyclists & Travelers" in every sense of the words.
The Journey: George and Elisavet have traveled nearly the entire world on two wheels, fueled by their pure love for motorcycle touring and funded entirely by their own pockets.
The Map: Their tracks span across Europe, the USA, Canada, and all the way to the frozen landscapes of Alaska. They’ve ridden through the heat of North Africa, numerous Asian countries, and every one of the "Stans."
Far East & Beyond: They have explored Japan, Northern India, the Himalayas, Ladakh, and Kashmir. Their most recent adventure took them across New Zealand, Australia, and Tasmania.
The Exchange: While 30 minutes is nowhere near enough to describe everything they’ve seen and lived, it is a wonderful opportunity to meet them and experience those travel moments through their stories.
Knowledge Sharing: For anyone dreaming of traveling to these parts of the world, this is your chance to get firsthand information from George. As we all know, sharing information turns individual knowledge into a collective asset for our riding community.
Sunday Night Special Guest: Live Rock by the Sea
We are thrilled to announce that on Sunday night, May 31st, a very special guest will be joining our crew! At our beach camp in Kastrosykia (right on the shore in front of "Ta Platanakia" Tavern), we will have the honor of hosting the well-known rocker from Ioannina, George Gakis.
