As we told you in Is it safe to travel to Greece, you should always drive with caution, but we advise you to be much more cautious in Greece. Forced overtaking is not uncommon and many drivers expect you to pull straight onto the shoulder so that they can overtake you. In addition, most of the roads are not in good condition.
The VACCINATION PASSPORT for travel WITHOUT
The islands of Greece are so many and so different that you could spend a 15-day trip just going from one to another. But if you have two weeks for the whole country there are at least two, the most famous ones, that you should include in your itinerary: Mykonos and Santorini. Even if you have not been to Greece before, you have surely heard of them, a sign that when you go there you will find them extremely crowded unless you go in low season. To get to Mykonos you will have to leave from Athens and you can go either by ferry or by plane. The difference is that it takes 45 minutes by plane and 2.5 to 5 hours by boat, depending on the speed of the boat. Once in Mykonos you can go from beach to beach, walk through the center of Chora, visit the famous windmills of the island, stroll through Little Venice and visit the old port of Mykonos.
And we arrive in Athens, one of the highlights of the trip. But do not think that here you have to see the Parthenon and that’s it, because the city, in addition to many other archaeological landmarks of great importance has an atmosphere in its streets and museums that you should not overlook. We will not deny it, the Acropolis of Athens is one of the most touristic places in the world, and the Parthenon its most famous temple, but here you will also find the Erechtheion with its Caryatids, the Propylaea, the temple of Athena Nike, the theater of Dionysus Eleuteros and the Odeon of Herodes Atticus. Next to the ruins is the Acropolis Museum of Athens, which is an absolute must-see. Between the two you have enough for a whole day.
