Not only is Greece known for founding the Olympics, it has always been popular because of its historical importance not only to Europe, but to the rest of the world. Greece has in its cities several galleries and museums that would enchant not only history buffs but are also a great find for tourists. Elegant architecture is evident in the many establishments of the country. The palaces and castles are great places to see, and the best way to ensure you get the most from your time here, is to hire a car. With Car Hire 3000 you organice your car hire in Greece before you leave the UK to make sure you get the best out of your holiday.
Most cars in Greece are well maintained. There are laws that actually give consumers some incentive if they replace their older vehicles. The accident rate in Greece is quite high so it’s driving with caution is advised. Be on the look out when you are on single lane roads. Several vehicles of varied sizes, ranging from big trailers to motorcycles, speed their way on the road.
Seatbelts should be worn at all times. There may be times that a policeman might stop you on the road just to enforce the seatbelt law. Always drive on the right hand side of the road. If you need to overtake, do so on the left. Some things that you should have with your vehicle include first aid kit, warning triangle, and fire extinguishers. If you are on motorways, keep your speed below 120 km/h. Go slower on major roads as the speed limit is set at 110 km/h. Be extra careful when you are in towns, always go slower than 50 km/h and be aware of local speed limits at all times.
Grecian roads vary in quality. Major cities are interconnected with multi-lane highways that are wide enough to accommodate a number of vehicles. Smaller towns and rural areas have narrower roads, that can at times be poorly maintained so caution is advised.
Petrol stations are readily available anywhere in Greece. You should expect that most petrol stations will be closed by 7 in the evening so be sure to fill up before then!
Summary:
- Seatbelts should always be worn
- Children should sit in the back
