The 27-year-old, who finished third in Greece last year and in 2006, will be making his sixth start on the Athens-based event this week and with Ford having won the Acropolis six times in the last eight years he should be right up there and in contention for the win.
"The Acropolis is usually the hottest rally in the championship but having been to Jordan last month where temperatures were close to 40ºC, I don't think we will experience that kind of heat here," he continued
"Although Jordan was also abrasive, I think Greece will be more so. There are plenty of loose rocks, especially during the second pass of stages, and the road base is hard bedrock. That's why the rally has earned its reputation as a car-breaker.
"The conditions are tough on cars and tyres but I'm not worried about either. The Focus RS has proved its strength many times. Pirelli's tyres have also been remarkably strong this year with few punctures."
Jari-Matti Latvala meanwhile, fresh from having won ten of the 17 stages in Sardinia, is aiming to show a similar turn of speed on the seventh round in the WRC.
Latvala, who has scored 24 points so far this season, has already won one event this year and with two other podiums also in the bag, the 23-year-old will again be gunning for a place on the rostrum.
Furthermore while the Acropolis didn't go to plan last season and he lost out on the two passes over the 48.88 kilometre Agii Theodori test on the Saturday, picking up four punctures in total and losing nearly twelve minutes, he is glad that this year the organisers have split it into two.
Greece also holds some very good memories for him as he made his World Rally Car debut in a Focus RS on the event back in 2003, when he was just 18.
"That was a very special moment," recalled the Finn. "It was only my second world rally and I was so tired from the heat because it was a new experience for me in the hot conditions. My car was totally reliable and I finished 10th, which at 18 years old was amazing.
