Where to leave my Miata for a month?

<< < (3/5) > >>

nickesh:
I'm sorry for delaying my answer. I just returned from the stage 1 of the trip. Miata stayed in Split, Croatia. Now I have some time to plan the stage 2.

Pm me for details.

Now that's miata mentality right there.

My God, that's unbelievable! Only MX-5 owner could come up with this idea! It doesn't happen in common world :)

We would love to make use of such exceptional opportunity - a really safe place, but unfortunately the prices of flights from Thessaloniki have gone up by 5 times before we had our holidays confirmed at work so we could buy the tickets :tanevramou:. We had to take a step back and change our plan - we will leave the car in Athens. We have a flight from Athens to Warsaw on September 21, in the evening. And we go back after tree weeks, on October 12.

So, we're still looking for a garage, but now in Athens. And this time for sure - we already bought plane tickets ;) . I think we might use this one: http://polispark.gr/el/parking/stathmos-paidon, suggested by @Iliasfyntanidis. If I understand the website correctly, the price should be around €50 per month, right?

Unless anyone has better idea. Maybe some private offer, a place in underground parking in some block of flats or something. All suggestions are welcome.

2. Samarina - Grevena. 50km of twisties.

3. Grevena - Polymylos. 72km of relaxed motorway cruising

4. Polymylos - Veria (through kastania).  35km twisties

5. Veria - Thessaloniki. 70km motorway.

Job done. :excited:

First, thanks a lot for this hints! We have already made a complete plan of the whole week, based on your instructions - almost exactly on the roads you mentioned. We were also very exited to meet some other MX-5 owners there. And now we have to change all of the plan :( . Or maybe we don't have to, do we? Maybe it is still a good idea to drive to Athens through Kazani? What do you say for that?

Our priority is usually to find the best roads, but this time we can give it up and take the longer way just to raise a glass of beer with such friendly bunch like you guys! :)

DOOM:
Firslty, malakia (you surely have to get familiar with this word and its derivatives..all my EU buddies have!! lol), that tickets went up. Not 2 worry though, miata (heads) is always the answer, no?

Secondly, sorry for my delayed reply, was on vacation in Lemnos island. Btw, whoever owns that white NA, mint condition mate, well done.

So, the route I chose lately for driving my miata from Athens and found it spot on;

Athens - Lamia, a 2 hour trip (or thereabouts) cruising. Sea on your right in a good part of the journey and you'll be just fine. Lots of toll stations though, keep your coins.. >:-

Lamia - Grevena; 2 hours

1. you'll begin with the Domokos section -one of my favourites in Greece- nice asphalted road, 2+1 lanes, you will definitely enjoy it.

2. Indifferent section from Domokos till Kalambaka, there's a pretty new highway part and besides that, nothing really to mention (unless someone else knows better, that is)

3. Kalambaka - Grevena. Love it, love it, love it; a stop, or better a large detour and visit in Meteora, is obligatory. google it, amazing site to visit. And from there on, lots of twisties with an astounding scenery as a background till Grevena. Top down, of course.

4. Grevena - Kozani; 30 minutes of highway till me and @topetwrx welcome you -in person- to Kozani. We will be more than glad to meet up.  :excited: :excited:

Well, Nickesh, you have the opportunity to use another miata owner's place to leave your car - of course for free. I have two parking spaces at my house, one for the miata and one for the daily but I can give you the daily's space for as long as you need and I'm just 15' from the airport. Feel free to ask me anything you need.

Well, what could I possibly say for that? The only reaponse that comes on my mind: do you prefer Sobieski, Chopin, or maybe Żubrówka? ;)
Let's continue on private messages, then.

It's classic. Prices of plane tickets goes up and down constantly, as you probably know well. Nothing to be worried about - we've already got used to ::-

As for THE WORD, I suspect you might also know it's polish equivalent - let's leave it for Kozani ;)

So, combining that and what you've wrote previously, I suppose we should go for something like this: https://goo.gl/maps/JXxPXxptZT52. This is a route for the September part of our trip ("Stage 2"), so we will drive in the opposite direction - from Kakavia to Kozani and then to Athens. We will get back to "Stage 3" later (the way back to Albania).

I'm not sure which road did you mean between Grevena and Kalampaka. The road number 15 or rather something like this: https://goo.gl/maps/s7VfmBMEbMq ? >:-

Despite of which way we'll choose, I suppose we should reach Kozani at Tuesday evening (September 18) or Wednesday (September 19), depending on how smooth the trip will go. We're looking forward to meet you there!

I will discuss all further details with @topetwrx on private messages. Thanks! :)

Εφόσον έχω το αυτοκίνητο των παιδιών σπίτι μου και θα έρθουν την επόμενη Παρασκευή να το παραλάβουν, είπαμε το Σάββατο το πρωί να πάμε μια βόλτα στα γύρω βουνά. Θεώρησα σωστό από τη στιγμή που εδώ έγινε η γνωριμία, να το γράψω κι εδώ για όσους ενδιαφέρονται να ακολουθήσουν. Ο χρόνος είναι αυστηρά Σάββατο πρωί λόγω διαθέσιμου χρόνου τους. Η διαδρομή που θα καλύψουμε είναι "Πανόραμα Νέας Μάκρης - φράγμα Μαραθώνα - Τατόι - λίμνη Μπελέτσι" και αν μας παίρνει ο χρόνος υπάρχει φοβερή ταβέρνα στο Καπανδρίτι. Λόγω χρόνου επίσης μπορεί το φράγμα Μαραθώνα να αντικατασταθεί με πέρασμα από Διόνυσο. Θα γράψουμε όμως χιλιόμετρα σε αγαπημένες διαδρομές, αυτό είναι το μόνο σίγουρο.

Όπως και να 'χει, το ραντεβού θα είναι το Σάββατο 13/10 στις 10:00 στο σημείο εδώ.
Παρακαλώ πολύ όσοι θα ακολουθήσουν να γράψουν με το γνωστό τρόπο τη λίστα με ονόματα και συνοδούς για να έχω μια εικόνα.
