Road network Greece

The quality of roads in Greece is variable. In tourist areas and near big cities, roads are usually fine, but not everywhere! Watch out for holes in the road, loose stones and animals crossing. You may encounter unpaved roads. If an unpaved road does not have an official road number, your rental car is not insured there.

The right rental car category for Greece

We recommend the Small or Economy category for short drives, for instance to do some shopping or to a nearby beach. A Compact category rental car is better for longer drives, as you can use some extra space. The Comfort or higher category is recommended if you are going to a mountainous area in Greece, because of the higher engine power.

The best time to visit Greece by rental car

The best road trips are in Greece from May to October, when you can enjoy the Greek sun, nature and the sea invites you for a swim.

Famous Greek food and drink

In Greece, you eat like the gods: a plate full of gyros or a fresh Greek salad under the sun. Wash it down with a fresh frappé or a small glass of ouzo, but remember: after the ouzo, leave the car alone!
