Notes:
* ^1 - The 2003 event was canceled after one stage due to fatal accident involving local driver Dimitris Kolopianos, who was killed instantly in the crash.
* ^2 - In the 2008 edition there were two separate ELPA Rally events - ELPA Rally I and ELPA Rally II
* ^3 - Ioannis Papadimitriou set the fastest overall time, but he was registered only for the national championship and not for the European Rally Championship, so therefore Giandomenico Basso is recognised as the official rally winner by the FIA.
* ^4 - Armodios Vovos set the fastest overall time, but he was registered only for the national championship and not for the European Rally Championship, so therefore Yuriy Protasov is recognised as the official rally winner by the FIA.
* ^5 - The 2011 event was canceled for economic reasons.
