Spianada Square full of vintage cars for 6th Mystery Event
CORFU. Everyone who was in the square had the opportunity to admire up close these old vehicles, which evoke memories of another era.
The Triskelion Association 6th Mystery Event was successfully held in Corfu with the support of the Corfu Automobile Club and the Patras Club E.L.I.A.!
The guests arrived in Corfu on Friday evening after travelling in the rain, and on Saturday morning, they were at Spianada Square, ready for the start! Along with them were several vintage car owners from Corfu.
The route, divided into five checkpoints, passed through Lakones, Troumpeta, Agros, Dafni, Velonades, Roda and Acharavi (with a one-hour rest stop), before continuing through Kassiopi, Avlaki, Nissaki, and Ipsos, ending back at Spianada Square.
The combination of picturesque villages, "mountainous" passes, and coastal areas was greatly enjoyed by the participants, who relished the 115 km journey.
The awards party followed in the evening, and the next day, nearly everyone gathered at the square for a static exhibition of the cars. During the exhibition, the members of the Corfu Automobile Club cut the 2025 New Year's Cake!
The Corfu Automobile Club would like to thank:
-
Mr. Yiannis Karampelas for trusting us with a significant part of the organisation, which we strived to carry out in the best possible way.
-
The Corfu Traffic Police Department for their support.
-
The Municipality of Central Corfu and Diapontia Islands for granting the necessary permits for the use of the square.
-
The Municipality of North Corfu for authorising the use of the Town Hall space for the event’s needs, as well as for providing gifts and souvenirs to the participants and offering general support through civil protection services.
Special thanks to Deputy Mayors Mr. Hirdaris and Mr. Garnelis, as well as Mayor Giorgos Machimaris, who was present and gave a welcome speech.
Additionally, we would like to thank:
-
The Cook's Club Hotel in Gouvia for their impeccable service to our guests.
-
The company Kerkyra Seaways for offering transportation at a special rate.
-
The company Olympus Cars for providing vehicles for the event.
Lastly, we would especially like to thank all the individuals who contributed to making this event happen—volunteers, assistant judges, and of course, the photographers!
The success of this event proves that with proper organisation and dedication, Corfu can host outstanding events that go beyond the island’s borders! Under these conditions, the proper promotion of Corfu is guaranteed.
The two months of preparation were quite demanding, but the result made all our efforts worthwhile!
Congratulations to everyone who worked together to achieve this great result!
