Car rental in Xanthi

Cruise Through the City: Car Class Recommendations

An economy class car is most suitable for navigating the city's narrow streets. However, if you plan to venture into the scenic countryside and mountain areas, you might appreciate the comfort and power of an SUV or 4x4 vehicle. Remember to keep your driving licence handy, Greece recognises the UK driving licence.

Don't forget to bring along your sun cream to protect your skin from the Mediterranean sun, the UV index can be more intense than in the UK.

Climate and Best Time to Visit
