Driving to Elati and Libovisi (Kolokotronis' home - mountain road driving, Greece) - onboard camera
Driving to Libovisi (the place where Kolokotronis grew up and where his family home is placed) with a Mitsubishi Lancer 1.5L Invite sedan. The video starts at the junction of Greek National Road 33 (GR-33) with Greek National Road 74 (GR-74), continues on GR-74, passes through the villages of Pyrgaki and Elati and comes to an end at Libovisi. From 19:50 mark of the video the road passes through a thick forest of fir trees that contiues till the end of the video. The type of vegetation changes near Libovisi where the altitude is lower than Elati.
A few words about Theodoros Kolokotronis:
Theodoros Kolokotronis (Greek: Θεόδωρος Κολοκοτρώνης) (3 April 1770 -- 4 February 1843) was a Greek Field Marshal and the pre-eminent leader of the Greek War of Independence against the Ottoman Empire.
Kolokotronis' greatest success was the defeat of the Ottoman army under Mahmud Dramali Pasha at the Battle of Dervenakia in 1822. In 1825, he was appointed commander-in-chief of the Greek forces in the Peloponnese. Today, Kolokotronis ranks among the most revered of the protagonists of the War of Independence.
