2026 will mark the 70th running of the Acropolis Rally. 🇬🇷
To celebrate that occasion, I will be taking a look at how the route of the rally evolved through the years, in a series of posts.
The first part is about the 1973-1980 era 🏁

No what I would change again, but if I were to rank some of the stages this year, Raanitsa would be my favourite, with Kambja a close second. Kanepi is also up there.
My least favourite is Karaski, it seemed a bit bland from the onboard

The stages in the Loutraki area can be used in many different combinations and directions.
So much so, that almost identical routes have been used with different names! 😵💫
The 2021 Loutraki stage is almost the same as the 2012 Aghii Theodori one for example

There were also plans for a night stage in 2022 and this year, but it didn't happen in the end
In 2011 and 2013, the Acropolis Rally featured night stages! 👀
Night stages on rough gravel was something unique, and Rally Portugal would follow the Greek organizers example for the 2012 edition of the rally.

Alexandros Tsouloftas' 9th place in the 2022 Acropolis Rally is the best result for a driver of Greek descent in the modern era of the event 💪
The Cypriot also finished 3rd in WRC2 that year! 🥉

With an average speed of 117km/h, Elatia-Zeli has been the fastest stage used in the Acropolis Rally since the event's return to the WRC in 2021!
It's not often that an Acropolis stage exceeds the average speed of 100km/h!

The Acropolis Rally has seen many of the stages used in the 80s and 70s paved over the years. 😔
Some of them are still used in rallying though, in tarmac rallies!
An example of this is the well-known Meteora stage 👇

The 2011 and 2012 editions of the Acropolis were based in Loutraki but also visited some iconic stages like Eleftherohori, Elatia and Bauxites thanks to remote services. ✌️
The 2012 edition stretched to over 400km, with stages in Corinth, Argolis, Viotia and Fokida.

The 2014 Acropolis Rally was a weird one 😵💫
The event was part of the ERC, and was a mixed surface event, with stages on both tarmac and gravel, an experiment that has not been repeated since.
Craig Breen was the winner, in the 208 T16 R5's competitive debut 💪

The 2003 Lilea Parnassos SSS was eventful 😬
The first pass was annulled due to thick dust and zero visibility. Safety was a major issue too, with fans trying to get in for free 🤦♂️
For the second pass, organizers watered and salted the stage to keep dust down

The Acropolis Rally had Athens as its base from 2006 to 2008.
Many of the stages used in these 3 editions of the rally can no longer be used due to them being burnt from the many forest fires in the area. ☹️
