On June 26, the heart of Athens will pulse with adrenaline as a portion of the city transforms into a thrilling race course for the EKO Rally Acropolis.

Spectators will witness the roar of elite cars from the World Rally Championship as they launch from a ramp nestled in front of the historic Panathenaic Stadium, with the iconic Acropolis standing majestically in the background.

He highlighted the rally's remarkable impact, noting that it contributed €20 million to the Greek economy in 2021, a figure that has soared to over €45 million in just four years.
