"For me, it's my fifth time in Greece and third time in Athens and I've never seen the roads so bad," added Lehtinen. "I don't know if it's been a bad winter or something, but the roads were terrible in places - just rocks left."

There is no official word yet on where the Acropolis will go next season, but a spokesperson for the event confirmed to Crash.net that 'most probably' next year's Acropolis Rally will be moving from Athens.

"Any decision about moving to Lamia has not been taken yet [though]," added the spokesperson. "The organising committee will examine all possible solutions and will issue a press release as soon as a decision has been taken."
