Driving in the Ionian Islands

While the rules of the road aren't vastly different from those in the UK, there are a few quirks to bear in mind.

Driving Side

Right-hand Driving: The first and foremost thing to remember is that, unlike in the UK, Greeks drive on the right-hand side of the road.

Speed Limits

Area	Speed Limit
Urban Areas	50 km/h
Non-Urban Roads	90 km/h
Motorways	130 km/h

Traffic Rules

Seat belts for all passengers are compulsory.
The legal drink-drive limit is lower than in the UK, so be especially cautious.

Exploring the Islands

The Ionian Islands are laden with unique attractions, vibrant cities, stunning landscapes, and beautiful beaches.

Attractions

The British Watchtower: An interesting relic from the British rule located on Kerkyra (Corfu).
Saint Gerasimos Monastery: Located on Kefalonia, this revered monastery is a peaceful sanctuary.

Cities

Corfu Town: A bustling city where Venetian, French, and British influences blend with local Ionian traditions.
Zakynthos Town: Encapsulates the island's history and modernity.

Currency

Although Greece is within the Eurozone, it's best to have some cash on hand as not all places accept cards, especially in the more remote areas.

Seasonal Events

Celebrate Easter the Greek way on Corfu, witness the mystic snake festival on Kefalonia, or participate in the carnival festivities in Zakynthos Town.

“The settlement on site (Airport Corfu) went absolutely without problems and very quickly....The car was handed over to us by an employee who waited for us with a name tag of us at the exit . The return was just as unproblematic as the pickup. Absolutely recommendable...”
