🏕️ The Ultimate Guide to Our Moto-Free Camping! Accommodation, Rules & Survival Tips 🏍️🍻
Our group keeps getting bigger, so let's get everything organized regarding the spaces that will host us.
ATTENTION: Our setup is FREE CAMPING with a community vibe. The space has been granted to us with permission from the Municipality of Meteora and the Local Community of Gavros, but it is NOT an organized facility (there are no fences, reception, or security). We are all jointly responsible for protecting the area!
To ensure an unforgettable couple of days, we’ve secured the basics:
🍔 Food, Beers, Tsipouro, Water: Friends will be running grills with souvlaki/sausages and mutton at low, friendly prices. In the wooden cabin, there will be refrigerators with ice-cold beers and soft drinks (low prices). (Tip: Bring small change/small bills with you!)
🚰 Water: There is a tap with running, drinking water.
⚡ Electricity: The wooden cabin has power, and there will be power strips for charging phones and intercoms.
🚻 Toilets: There are 2 standard toilets inside the cabin.
🧰 Safety (First Aid Kit & Fire Extinguishers): Inside the main wooden cabin, there will be a fully stocked first aid kit, as well as fire extinguishers. Let's hope they are unneeded, but it's good for everyone to know where they are!
🎒 Pitching & Survival Guide (Don't say we didn't warn you!)
Because we are out in nature, come prepared:
The Ground: Bring a small hammer for your tent pegs. A tarp (footprint) under your tent will save you from dampness.
Spatial Planning: When pitching your tent, leave pathways! Your neighbors need to be able to go to the toilet at night without tripping over your tents.
Watch out for guy lines: They are invisible traps in the dark. Tie a piece of a white plastic bag or something fluorescent to them to prevent falls!
Valuables: We are all one huge, wonderful group, and trust is a given. However, don't forget that the area is completely open to nature and unguarded. So we can be 100% relaxed and avoid unnecessary stress, do not leave wallets, expensive helmets, keys, or gadgets exposed outside your tents or on your seats. Lock them in your motorcycle luggage.
Animals & Food: NEVER leave food or trash outside the tent at night. Strays and foxes will throw a party and could tear your tents. Lock food in your motorcycle cases or throw your trash in the designated bins.
Extra Supplies: Although the toilets will be looked after, having your own roll of toilet paper and baby wipes is a lifesaver.
📜 THE RULES OF OUR MOTO-VILLAGE
Leave No Trace: There will be garbage bags and bins. We pick up everything (even cigarette butts) and leave the space cleaner than we found it.
Safe Parking: Feel free to park near your tent, but keep a distance of at least 2-3 meters to avoid accidents if a kickstand sinks into the ground. Always park the motorcycle leaning away from the tent, and make sure to put a puck/piece of wood/pad under your side stand!
Moving within the campsite: Once we park, the keys come out. Pointless riding around, drifting, and revving between the tents are strictly prohibited. It kicks up dust, creates noise and annoyance, and poses a massive risk of accidents.
Caution with Fire: Improvised campfires next to the tents are prohibited. We will stick to the BBQ grills.
⚠️ What happens if someone doesn't respect the rules? We are not the police, but we have guaranteed the smooth operation of the area. If someone ignores common sense (dangerous revving, noise pollution during quiet hours, littering), they will be politely but firmly asked by the group to pack up their tent and leave. We will not risk anyone's safety for one person's amusement. We know it won't come to that!
Clubs / Large Groups: If you are coming organized and want to set up your tents in an area where you will all be together, let me know your approximate numbers so I can suggest the best spot!
Get your tents ready, load up your bikes, and come in the best spirits! Safe riding! ✌️

Those of you with a flexible schedule can arrive on Friday to pitch your tents, get to know each other, and spend a beautiful day. The location of the event can be found HERE.
If there is interest, we will go on a Sunset Tour in Meteora with our motorcycles. We will have the opportunity to visit a monastery, stop at the most scenic spots in Meteora for photos, and finally end up at Sunset Rock, where we will enjoy one of the most beautiful sunsets.
The tour will last 3-4 hours, and along the way, we will share information about the history of monasticism as well as the geological phenomenon of Meteora.
Afterwards, we will return to Agios Theodosios, where the mutton (provatines) will be waiting for us! :)
Recommended Hotels:
Tsikeli Boutique Hotel Meteora (reservations can be made directly with the hotel by clicking the link).
Hotel Orfeas: 75 euros / double room.
Grand Meteora Hotel: 135 euros / double room.
Saturday, May 30th
Saturday morning we will have our coffee at the campsite while waiting for the bulk of the participants to arrive. As for our breakfast, arrangements will be made with the best bakery in Kalambaka to prepare delicious treats for us.
Two groups will be formed, and those who wish can follow one of the two routes (detailed routes are in the event summary). Participation is not mandatory.
In the afternoon of the same day, there might be a surprise where we'll need to put our helmets back on, but we won't need to turn the key in our motorcycle's ignition... (as if we would reveal the surprise right now!).
For the evening, there is a plan. Organized and "criminal"... The coals will be lit, the tsipouro will arrive, we'll turn up the speakers and Let's Rock it or play "Ta Kagkelia" :).
If all goes well, there will be a Live Stream of the evening with two producers from Dust Radio, which will also be the media sponsor of the event (Ilias Antonopoulos, Litsa Nemesis).
We are making an effort to have two world travelers honor us with their presence and talk to us about their travel experiences.
As long as there is charcoal and tsipouro, everything else will fall into place naturally!
A quick note: For those who snore (myself included), there is a provision to set up your tents on the perimeter of the campsite to scare away the wildlife. We care about your safety and prove it in practice!
Guest Speakers: World Travelers
From 20:00 to 20:30, we will have the honor and pleasure of talking with George Cholevas and Elisavet about their travel experiences. They are Motorcyclists and Travelers in the truest sense of the words.
George and Elisavet have ridden across almost the entire globe on two wheels, fueled by their passion for motorcycle travel and relying strictly on their own funds.
Their Journey So Far:
They have traveled throughout Europe, the USA, and Canada, reaching all the way to frozen Alaska.
They've ridden through the heat of North Africa, across several Asian countries, and through all the "-stan" countries.
They have explored Japan, all of Northern India, the Himalayas, Ladakh, and Kashmir.
Their most recent trip took them to New Zealand, Australia, and Tasmania.
Obviously, 30 minutes is not nearly enough time to describe the sights and everything they have lived through, but it will be a wonderful opportunity to meet them and experience a taste of their journeys through their stories.
It will also be a great chance for anyone wishing to travel to any of these destinations to get essential tips and information directly from George. After all, as we know, information is meant to be shared, and knowledge belongs to everyone through our shared love for motorcycles!
Sunday, May 31st
Sunday morning coffee and mutton (whatever is left over). We hit the restrooms, pack up the tents, clean the area, and load up our "beauties" (our bikes).
We say goodbye to Agios Theodosios, head for the mountains (detailed route in the event summary), and ride west to end up in Kastrosykia, Preveza.
Our final destination will be right by the sea, and you can find it by clicking HERE.
At this spot, following arrangements with local authorities and the owner of the "Ta Platanakia" taverna and "Medousa" Beach Bar, Mr. Panagiotis, we will be able to pitch our tents on the huge beach. We'll park our motorcycles in the taverna's large and safe parking lot, put the keys in our pockets, and get ready for the evening's event!
Home-cooked meals? Fresh fish? Amazing zucchini fritters? Mutton? (Haven't you had enough yet?). We've got it.
A bonfire on the beach with cold beers and music? You like the sound of that? We've got it.
Want something more? Say, live rock music? We've got that too. The well-known George Gakis will rock out for us.
Night swimming? We've got it.
A raffle will be held featuring as many prizes as we can gather. ALL proceeds will be donated, in the presence of the manager Mrs. Vasiliki Borou, to the "Estia" guesthouse in Preveza ("Psychargos" Program of the Preveza General Hospital), which focuses on the deinstitutionalization and social reintegration of individuals with mental health conditions.
Overnight stay in tents right on the beach.

We are absolutely thrilled to announce that on the evening of Sunday, May 31st, right where we will be pitching our tents (Kastrosykia beach, in front of the "Ta Platanakia" taverna), we will have the honor of being joined by the well-known musician from Ioannina, George Gakis!

Gakis is the owner of the record label G.G. Records, through which he has released three albums: “Keep on Rock 'n' Rollin'” (1989), “Pain in my ass” (1995), and “Forbidden Paradise” (2000), featuring music and lyrics written by Gakis himself. He has performed over 1,000 concerts.

In 2012, Gakis released the album “Too much ain’t never enough,” which features 10 original tracks and one special rock cover of a traditional song. The album was released by Perris Records USA..
Monday, June 1st
