Once the vehicle is assigned, inspect it carefully before leaving the parking.

It should be noted that local drivers often do not follow the abovementioned speed limit rules. Almost none of local residents will drive on a highway at a speed less than 150 km/h.
Local roads are distinguished by high quality. Large highways are considered the best, but even small roads in the country will surprise drivers with their smooth surface and level of equipment.
Autobahns are paid in Greece. The cost of a ride depends on the route and type of a vehicle. As a rule, the average cost of using a highway is from 2.5 to 6 euro. Payments are usually made in cash, so drivers are recommended to make sure they have coins and paper money in small denominations.
