A
fter a long day of travel-
ing, we finally exited
Athens International
Airport in the early evening
with our friend and host Angelo
Baltoyannis, the owner and
co-founder of Mythical Routes,
which organizes and operates
adventure motorcycle tours in
Greece. And he had an adven-
ture waiting for me and riding
buddy Randy Commans.
The plan? To spend five days
riding around Greece on KTM
690s. We'd start the ride in the
mountainous Peloponnese area
west of Athens and then travel
by ferry to the Evia region in the
east. Since we were new to the
area, we relied on Angelo and
his brother and Mythical Routes'
co-owner, Paris, to show us
some great routes; after all,
that's their job.
Our intro to Greek culture
was immediate as Angelo
poured us some Ouzo with our
dinner as we discussed our
route. We were now anxious
more than ever to get going. But
first, a good night's sleep.
