Date: Sunday 4th January 2015 – 11am

The ANNUAL VASSILOPITTA & SHAMPAYNE run

Hare: Rear Entry

Venue: Mustang stables – Xenias St, Kefalari

 

From the centre of Athens -OR from Kifissia area - OR just about anywhere really cos I can’t be bothered to do directions from anywhere else:

 

Go up Kifissias Avenue & continue through Kifissia

After 2-3 Km you come to Nea Erithrea

Pass an AB supermarket and a cinema on your right

At the next traffic lights (Shell garage opposite & Alpha Bank on the right) turn RIGHT

You are now in Harilaou Trikoupi carry on for 1.6Km

Turn left at the second lights into Xenias street – this is just after Kokkinara St.

Carry on to the end of Xenias – Mustang stables are here.

 

Lost ?  Confused ?  Just plain stupid ?  So what’s new!!

 

ok, call Rear Entry
