Route

edit

The EO51 is officially defined as a road through the centre of the Peloponnese, running between Corinth to the north and Kalamata to the south, via Nemea, Argos, Tripoli, and Megalopolis.[1]

History

edit

Ministerial Decision G25871 of 9 July 1963 created the EO7 from the old EO53, which existed by royal decree from 1955–1963, and also followed the same route as the current EO7.[2][1] Until 1975, the entirety of the EO7 formed part of the old European route E92.[3]
