Traveling in the Greek region, you will see unique landscapes, idyllic scenery and special sights. All this is led by large boulevards and small country roads that are often attractions in themselves.
One such typical example is the Greek road with 30 consecutive turns. It is no coincidence that they call him “Kolosourti” since the nickname seems to fit the street, especially when you look at him from above. The Greek road with 30 consecutive turns is located in the Peloponnese and was used very often by the inhabitants in the central and southern areas. Driving there was of course never a simple matter and there were a few accidents.
“Kolosourtis”: The Greek road with 30 consecutive turns
For several decades, the old National Road Argos – Tripoli was the road that connected Argos with Tripoli through Ahladokambos. And of course it made the drivers’ route much more difficult especially during the winter months. It took a lot of courage for a truck to pass through and there was no alternative. Kolosourtis was in fact double traffic with one lane in each direction. The legendary road of the Peloponnese was a bad nightmare for anyone who had to travel from there.
The suffering of drivers stopped with the opening of the Artemisio tunnel in 1989. Since then, accidents have been significantly reduced and travel time for those who wanted to go to the Southern Peloponnese has dropped by almost half. The road with 30 consecutive turns was not a mandatory route since then but a choice… for a walk!

The strange streets of Greece
The old national road Argos – Tripoli is not the only strange road in Greece. Surely you have heard about the magical “road of love” that you must visit. You may also know the Greek road that literally passes you through the mountain!
If you now want to see something impressive, get a taste of the unknown Greek street with its thousands of fossilized shells. Kolosourtis was a road phenomenon for his data but today it just reminds how difficult the movements were even a few years ago.
