Car Hire & Mini Guide for Greece

Driving in Greece offers a fantastic way to explore its diverse landscapes, from ancient ruins to idyllic islands. Greece's road network is generally well-maintained, with a network of highways connecting major cities and popular tourist destinations. The distance from major airports to city centers varies; for instance, from Athens International Airport to Athens city center, it's approximately 20 kilometers (12 miles). In many cases, rental cars can be picked up directly at the airport, offering convenience for travelers.

When driving in Greece, it's essential to adhere to local road regulations. Greece follows right-hand driving, and seat belts are mandatory for all passengers. Speed limits are typically 50 km/h in urban areas, 90 km/h on rural roads, and 130 km/h on highways, but always obey posted limits. Greece has strict laws against drunk driving, with a blood alcohol limit of 0.05%, and mobile phone usage while driving is prohibited unless you have a hands-free device. Also, be aware that Greek roads may have sharp turns, narrow lanes, and steep inclines, particularly in mountainous areas, so drive cautiously, especially if you're exploring the beautiful but challenging terrain of islands like Crete or Santorini.
