The Acropolis Rally of Greece (Greek: Ράλλυ Ακρόπολις, officially known as BP Ultimate Acropolis Rally of Greece) is a rally competition, part of the World Rally Championship schedule. The rally is held on very dusty, rough and rocky mountain roads around Athens during the Greek hot summer period. Loutraki is one of the major basis. The rally is known for being extremely tough on the competing cars and drivers.

Following the Qualifying Stage over a 6.20-kilometre course on Thursday morning (24 May) to decide the running order for day one, crews head east to the capital Athens and the famous Zappion for the ceremonial start, before the event proper begins with a 25-kilometre test run late in the evening.
Friday’s itinerary consists of eight stages over a demanding 12-hour period. With service during the day restricted to two 15-minute remote halts in Itea, the challenge is further increased due to the limited amount of repair work that can be undertaken.
Saturday’s route of eight stages takes competitors closer to base in the Peloponnese region and includes the new 21-kilometre Ziria stage, which the event organisers describe as “very interesting”.
Sunday is a slightly more tame affair with five stages including the 3.97-kilometre New Loutraki Power Stage.
