The most interesting places in Greece

Old ruins, various museums, narrow streets, small cafes, the Acropolis or the climatic Old Town are just some of the highlights that await you in Athens. It is an extraordinarily colorful city mixing Mediterranean, Eastern and European elements.

Of course, sightseeing in Greece should not be limited to the capital. Another interesting place is Delphi, which lies on the road connecting Thermopylae to the Peloponnese. The city boasts a well-developed tourist infrastructure, so in addition to interesting sights, you will also find hotels, bars, restaurants and taverns.

If you decide to visit Greece during the summer season, be sure to visit Patras, which hosts various theatrical performances. At the end of the carnival season, a parade takes place in the city, where you will meet masses'of tourists and residents in colorful and original costumes. The highlight of the event is the burning of a carnival king and fireworks.

Another town that deserves your attention is Kalambaka, located at the foot of the Meteora rock formation. This is exactly where the famous Orthodox churches are located, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The Greek map also offers a place with a similar name, Kalamata, which, although not a large number of attractions, is famous for its high-quality olive oil.

It's also a place with a similar name, Kalamata.

All travelers have probably heard of such sayings as "Spartan conditions" or "Spartan upbringing". Originating from ancient Sparta, they refer to the inhabitants who avoided too much entertainment in many areas of their lives and maintained strict discipline. Today, the city is popular with tourists not only for its unique atmosphere, but also for its location near Mistras, which serves as an open-air museum.

Greece is a country full of archaeological sites. The most famous ones include Mycenae, Olympia and Corinth. Moreover, you can't really miss Messini, where you'll find the remains of the Arcadian Gate and the temple of Asclepius. The temple was built in 215 and had an extremely important political and religious function in the country.

If you want to see the best preserved Greek theater, you should go to Epidaurus, which is located in the eastern part of the Peloponnese. The object was built around 300 BC. Built in BC. It is known for its excellent acoustic properties and has been the subject of research for many years. Interestingly, it is still used for the performance of tragedies by famous Greek playwrights.

Greece has so many amazing places that they can be counted endlessly. It is also worth remembering that lesser-known places are just as interesting as more touristy places. These include Amfilochia (about 40 km from Arta), Larissa, with one of the largest ancient theaters, and Ioannina, beautifully situated on the western shore of Lake Pamvotida.

Greece: the most important traffic rules

Traffic rules in Greece are similar to those in other European countries. Motorists drive on the right side of the road and overtake on the left. It is important to obey the driving laws. Remember! If you enter a traffic circle, you have the right of way!

Of course, while driving in Greece, you can expect speed regulation. Within built-up areas the maximum speed is 50 km / h, in rural areas you may drive up to 80 km / h. On highways you may not exceed the speed of 110 km / h, while on freeways you can drive at a speed of 130 km / h.

While driving in Greece, turning on dipped headlights during the day is not mandatory unless weather conditions are unfavorable. Fastening is, of course, mandatory. Only pregnant women may be given some leeway in this.

.

Passengers under 12 years of age and smaller than 135 cm are not allowed to ride in the front seat; however, they can ride on a special child seat adjusted to their height. Talking on the phone while driving is allowed only with a hands-free system. Driving under the influence is heavily penalized - blood alcohol content must not exceed 0.05% (0.02% for novice drivers).

Make sure you have all the necessary equipment before you leave. This includes a first aid kit, a warning triangle and a fire extinguisher. A reflective vest is something worth carrying in your car, especially if you need to get out of your car in the countryside.

State of Greek roads and tolls

Continental Greece has a well-developed road infrastructure that makes it easy to travel between major cities. On highways, motorists can travel up to 2,000 km. Roads with less traffic are not so bad either. One must be especially careful on mountain roads where the asphalt is narrow and surrounded by precipices.

Most Greek roads are toll roads. However, toll rates are not fixed but depend on the vehicle category and the route traveled. The only accepted method of payment is cash. Queues at toll booths are not long, so your adventure will be quite enjoyable.

If you plan to take the Aktio - Preveza underwater tunnel or the Rio - Andirio bridge connecting the Peloponnese to the Balkan Peninsula, you should also prepare plenty of cash. The tunnel will cost you between €3 and €5, while the bridge will cost you around €13-20.

Greece: parking in cities

Greek cities are characterized by the scarcity of parking spaces. You can park your car only in designated areas. Limited parking zones are usually marked with yellow street signs. Sometimes drivers are required to purchase parking tickets, which can be purchased at kiosks. Also keep in mind that illegal parking can result not only in a fine, but also in the loss of your license plate. Fortunately, most traffic tickets and fines can be reduced by 50% if you pay them on time (a maximum of 10 days from the day you received them).

Please note that most traffic tickets and fines can be reduced by 50% if you pay them on time.
