Hi
I am a newbie to the forum though have toured with mates to Italy, Vosges, Black Forest, Switzerland so far, so have some experience. However, I have a mission to Greece that they are unable to get time out for so am taking on the daunting prospect of doing it on my own and would be really grateful for accommodation, routing, 'avoid' type tips to take the stress out of the journey plan which comprises:
30/6 Kortrijk, Belgium -> Karlsruhe, Germany c 320 miles
1/7 Karlsruhe, Germany -> Mittersill, Austria (nr Grossglockner) c 275 miles
2/7 Mittersill, Austria -> Opatija area, Croatia c 240 miles
3/7 Opatija area, Croatia -> Split area, Croatia c 240 miles
4/7 Split, Croatia -> Shkoder (or Shkodra??) Albania VIA BOSNIA / (POSS) MONTENEGRO [I know I have to buy Insurance at the border for non EU countries) c 260 miles
5/7 Shkoder (or Shkodra??) Albania -> Trikala, Greece c 285 miles
6/7 Trikala, Greece -> Piraeus, Greece c 220 miles
I have accommodation reserved for first three nights so accommodation suggestions after that welcome. Ideally biker friendly guest house (bit old for wild camping)
I am also heading back on 20/7 to Igoumenitsa from Piraeus so any routing / accommodation suggestions c 2 hours out of Piraeus in that direction would be great.
Thanks ever so much for anything you can suggest
