We camp in remote wilderness areas far from any sign of civilization. The dynamic, everchanging landscapes will make this a true offroad adventure, which is guaranteed to fulfil every true overlander’s dream!
Greece is the best country in Europe when it comes to overland travel. Pindos and west Makedonia is the last oasis of unrestricted 4×4 offroad travel in Europe. It’s wild and beautiful mountainous terrain harbours some of the most picturesque and dynamic offroad trails, they reach more than 2500 m of altitude on alpin meadows, descend into the deepest canyons, cross mighty rivers, breathtakingly beautiful lakes, exciting riverbeds to drive on, and pass through muddy mazes of virgin forests in a way that represents a true adventure you’d normally have to search for in the distant corners of the world.
The Pindos mountains, stretching from Albania to Peloponnese, are not called the Greek Alps without a reason. There is a striking resemblance to the well known and overwhelmingly popular western Alps tracks, but with one important difference – unlike the crowded western Alps, these tracks are virtually empty for you to enjoy them without distractions!
Meet a diverse landscape that stretches virtually forever, aimed to capture your adventurer’s heart forever, join this nomadic quest you can experience in the heart of Europe!
Although these are wild and remote areas, the risk from wildlife is only theoretical, so you can be relaxed during camping, requiring no extra protection.
Depending on the season, we may spend a few nights in comfortable cozy small mountain hotels, to get a break from possible unstable weather and cold evenings.
Our average time of arrival at the campsite will be between 15:30 and 16:00 (to still give us some time to prepare everything for the long evening), and morning departure time will be around 9:00. On the nights when sleeping in hotels we may arrive at the hotel around dusk, as we need no time to set up the camp.
If you are self-driving from western or central Europe, the fastest and easiest way to reach Greece is by taking a ferry to Igoumenitsa from Ancona or some other Italian port on the Adriatic. You can also fly to Athens or Thessaloniki and rent an Isuzu D-MAX Double Cab 4×4 Off-Road high-end special roof-tent and camping equipment vehicle.
