Here are some general tips for driving in Greece that perhaps differ from the UK:
- Drive on the right: Unlike at home, in Greece, you drive on the right-hand side of the road.
- Speed Limits: Speed limits in Greece are generally lower than in the UK. They are 50km/h in built-up areas, 90km/h on open roads, and 130km/h on motorways.
- Paperwork: Don't forget your UK driving licence, passport, and international driving permit.
Car Class Recommendations
A compact class car is ideal for city driving and can comfortably navigate through narrow roads. However, an SUV will be more comfortable for long-distance travel or if you're planning to explore the island's terrain.
