Greece: A2(Egnatia Odos) Ioannina - Thessaloniki ~ PART 1 (Ioannina - Kozani)

Recorded on 14/08/2011.

A ride on the Greek Egnatia Odos(A2), a motorway full of tunnelss and viaducts. The video starts from road 5 near Ioannina, and then continues on A2 heading east. This is the first part of my video what ends at Kozani.

I made Egnatia from Igoumenitsa to Turkey in 2009 when it was nearly completed.
But in your vid I can see that most of the road works are still not finished.
Egnatia Odos is the mega project in Europe where still nothing similiar exsists.
Thumbs up !

wow one of the most awesome highways ever seen. the greek roadsigns are totally like the german ones just in green ;) i like that

Με νοσταλγεί η Εγνατία. Κάποια στιγμή χάνεσαι μέσα στο υπέροχο χρυσαφί του χώματος και των διψασμένων χόρτων, του πράσινου σε όλες του τις αποχρώσεις, μαζί με το υπέροχο γαλανόλευκο, που σκεπάζει τα πάντα. Κι αυτό το εκπληκτικό φως του καλοκαιριάτικου ελληνικού μεσημεριού, σε χτυπάει κατευθείαν εκεί που πονάει.

I think I did drive in this highway if not mistaken . From Giannitsa to Grevena and that was back in 2006 and some part of it it wasn’t finished yet . Maybe is a different one, but it look familiar .

[grvk]

[raviel]

Καλά σε αυτόν το δρόμο δεν υπάρχουν διόδια για 248km? Περίεργο για ελληνικό αυτοκινητόδρομο

[fanisk]

[hemono]

[StanleyBobly]

I miss the old mountain road between Ioannina - kozani.
highway is so boring. twisties in the mountains that's we need.

[TheCaptainOfRomania]

Which is the remix from the first song: Move any Mountain by Shamen?

[TheMisterG]

[telosfd]

Πλακα εχουμε αν σκεφτει κανεις οτι καποιοι"οδηγαρες" περνανε τα τουνελ και με 180Km/h. Πολυ ωραιο το βιντεο σου.

Szóval erre költötték a görögök azt a sok milliárdot :) Ennyi alagút, és mégis kanyargós autópálya. Hatalmas élmény lehetett itt vezetni, várom a folytatást

[NishikoRyuu]

Wow, what happened to the traffic? It's been several years since I was in Greece, but in my memory the high ways were much fuller.

[JimAirPlanespotting]

πιστευω οτι εχω κανει αυτη τη διαδρομη πανω απο 100 φορες... την ξερω απεξω!

[MORAVIADONAUtv]

Why is the entire length of the highway lighting? I mean, I do not want to pay electricity!
