Common questions on rental process
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.
Despite the modest width of roads in the country, many local residents have cars of a pretty impressive size. The reason for this is that most of them grow vegetables and fruits for sale; many people who live in the country transport their livestock frequently from one place to another. Of course, it is easier to make that on large cars.
Drivers, who leave their cars parked in the wrong place, in narrow streets and close to crossroads, run the risk of discovering new scratches on their cars. Local motorists have stopped paying attention on such trifles long ago.
