Driving Advices for Greece – Traffic Regulations and Road Usage Peculiarities

In general, the local police are friendly and they treat drivers from other countries with understanding and respect. The driving license may be withdrawn only for a very serious violation, but it is not a reason to follow the behavior of local drivers and ignore rules that may seem minor and unimportant at first glance.

There are almost no traffic jams on toll roads. The reason for this fact is that local drivers move at a very high speed on highways, so traffic jams are possible only in case there is a serious road accident.

Roads in the country are the most terrible roads for foreign drivers. Despite the speed limit of 80 km/h, local drivers rarely move on them at a speed below 120 km/h. As a rule, two-lane roads have rather broad shoulders, so many cautious drivers prefer to move on them.
