Common questions on rental process

Driving Advices for Greece – Traffic Regulations and Road Usage Peculiarities

In case of an accident or a breakdown drivers should not rely on special «SOS» phones, which are located along roads in some countries. It is possible to call for help only by a cell phone: 112 – emergency help, 104 and 154 - travel companies, 100 - police, 174 – 24/7 assistance for foreign drivers.

Car drivers should not forget to treat drivers of mopeds with greater attention. Local moped drivers have one very bad habit - they often overtake other vehicles on the right. Even if there is enough space for overtaking on the left, a moped driver will still do everything possible to overtake a car on the right.

If there is a car with blinking lights in the rearview mirror, it means that that car asks to give way. Possible options for a non-hurrying driver are to ride to the side of the road or to move to the extreme right lane.

Enjoying SUV and sightseeing of Limnos Island

Limnos Island: topics

Lemnos is not one of the most well-known and big islands in Greece. But there are many important historical monuments. The island was inhabited long ago, in the middle of the Neolithic. Phoenicians, Cretans, Pelasgians and Minoans lived here. Greeks believed that the island was also inhabited by Amazons. When Jason’s expedition landed on the island, Amazons attacked them and captured in order to increase the population. So, Minoans appeared because of the union between Amazons and the Argonauts.

Lemnos had cult importance for Greek people. According to ancient Greek legends, the island was sacred to Hephaestus, god of metallurgy. His father, Zeus, threw him on this island. Hephaestus had to survive and asked locals for help. In gratitude, he told them the secrets of metal processing and built several forges on Despotis mountain. The legend can be truthful because there were found ruins on the top of the mountain, but scientists haven’t discovered something particular yet.

Lemnos was inhabited by different people. Persians, Athenians, Spartans, Macedonians, Romans Byzantines, Venetians, and Turks left their mark on the island. Due to a large number of various settlers, there are still archaeological excavations on Lemnos. The excavations had been started a century and a half ago. Some of the findings were sent to Athens, but many interesting exhibits can be found in the Archaeological Museum of Lemnos. The museum itself is located in a neoclassical mansion of the 19th century in Myrina.
