ROADS

The roads around Greece can be a little scary - always take care whether as a driver or pedestrian. If driving always use a seat belt and if hiring a moped be especially cautious and always use a crash helmet.

Flashing headlights: Cars flash their lights to advise you that they are coming so that you stay put. They also flash when they want to overtake you, indicating for you to move over.

Indicating: Unfortunately, many drivers on the roads in Halkidiki are not aware of the location of their indicators, therefore they are not usually used, whether it be for turning or overtaking.

Roundabouts: In Greece priority is always given to the car approaching the round about from the right – This means giving way whilst on the roundabout itself. However, approach all roundabouts with caution, as many fellow tourists are often unfamiliar with this procedure.

Speed limits: Please take heed of any speed limits as it is still an offence to exceed the stated limit on that particular road and there are regular Police Check points.

If you are stopped by the Police: Ensure that you have in your possession the following documents: Car Hire Contract / Current Driving license / Passport
