From the South
Get to the Airport, go past the turnings for arrivals and departures, and head for the exhibition centre and technical area. Keep going past the speed bumps, past the sign that says “No access beyond this point”, and dive confidently out through the checkpoint. It will open.
At the traffic lights, turn right, and you are on the main road into Loutsa. Stay on this road down to the sea and follow the directions below.
When you reach the sea, turn right at the lights.
Follow this road, past MY MARKET and another couple of kilometres. You are looking for the REVOIL petrol station on your left. From the garage, about 300m, a couple of bends, until you reach a few shops on your right. Turn sharp left before the bicycle shop (PODHLATA GT DYNO).
