Driving in Greece

December 12th, 2005

If you intend Hiring a car or driving your own in Greece for the first time, just be aware that road accidents are pretty high so drive carefully. Accidents are particularly high for Motorcycles, scooters, mopeds and quad bikes. Its also worth noting that if you don’t wear a crash helmet, you could render your travel insurance invalid if you have an accident. Another thing is that quad bike riders have to wear a full-face helmet (or non-full-face helmet plus goggles) under Greek law. You also need to have road insurance and a motorcycle licence in Greece, a valid driving licence with at least category A1 - ‘light motorcycle` is essential. The category P licence which is valid in the UK for driving mopeds up to 50cc is not valid in Greece. Comments will be appreciated.
