Πίστα Go-kart, Motocross, Felekos

In Sparta, in Laconia in the south of the Peloponnese, the Felekos brings together a karting track and a motocross circuit in the open air, at the eighth kilometre of the road running down to Gythio. You drive outdoors, in a family setting where karting and off-road motorsport sit side by side, with a café to catch your breath between sessions. Children are welcome, on a track built for leisure.

Open-air karting has the advantage of staying easy to get into: a helmet, a briefing, and off you go after your best lap, solo or in a small group. The presence of a motocross circuit also draws lovers of off-road two-wheelers and supermoto, which makes the place a meeting point for the region's enthusiasts. The technical details are best confirmed on site, and it is best to check the opening days and hours in advance.

Sparta, heir to the famous ancient city, spreads across the Eurotas valley, at the foot of the Taygetus massif and its snowy peaks, among the olive groves. The Byzantine site of Mystras, listed as world heritage, watches over the valley a few kilometres away. The Felekos adds a dose of open-air motorsport, welcome for an active outing in this region of the southern Peloponnese. Bringing karting and motocross together on the same site is fairly rare in Greece, and makes the Felekos a playground prized by families and by two- and four-wheel enthusiasts from across Laconia.
