Detailed FAQ on the rental process
In some districts of Heraklion, Chania and other fairly large cities there are simply no pedestrian crossings. That is why people can start crossing a road at any place they want.
If in major cities, on motorways and highways road signs usually indicate information in two languages (Greek and English), there are only road signs in Greek on local roads.
When traveling on a winding mountain road, do not be afraid if a huge tourist bus suddenly appears, seems, out of nowhere. Such situations are not uncommon in Greece. If there is not enough space to pass each other, then you simply need to move backwards until you see a good place for a maneuver.
