Stage one, will be the longest stage in kilometres but not the most difficult.
Starting with asphalt liaison and a first mountain special, followed by sandy specials in the seaside and
continuing in some swamp area to finish in a stony beach of south city of Himara.
Navigation and not the terrain will be a major adversary in this first day of the rally.
Mostly a warm up stage with abundant liaison target times to get in confidence with the terrain and the
system, to be in good shape for the next days.

A very beautiful and skillful stage, but unforgiving if navigation or driving errors may happen...
