Driving in Greece

  • Highway speed limit is 130 km/h (81 mph), rural roads 90 km/h (56 mph) and towns 50 km/h (31 mph) unless signs show otherwise.
  • Most highways use toll booths. Pay with cash or card at the booth or rent an "e-Pass" electronic tag if you plan many highway crossings.
  • Village lanes are narrow. Check your RV width and mirror width before entering old towns.
  • Summer ferry decks to islands fill quickly. Reserve a vehicle space in advance and note the height limit of 4.5 m (14 ft) on major ferries.
  • Fuel stations outside cities may close 13:00–17:00 for afternoon break. Keep your fuel tank above half when driving rural or island routes.
  • Wild parking on beaches is often allowed in off-season, but local police may give fines if you put out chairs or awning.

Fuel, Water, Waste

  • Major fuel chains (EKO, Shell) on national roads offer 24-hour pay-at-pump diesel. Many also have separate LPG gas nozzles.
  • Most organized campgrounds let non-guests fill fresh water for a small tip. Ask at reception.
  • Chemical toilet disposal is available at larger tourist camps and the motorhome service point inside Athens OAKA parking area.

Practical Tips

  • July–August heat can exceed 95 °F (35 °C). Park in shade and carry at least 5 L drinking water per person.
  • Strong "meltemi" wind blows across the Aegean Sea in summer and can push high-roof vans. Drive slowly on exposed bridges.
  • Wildfire risk is high. If you receive an evacuation SMS from emergency number 112, follow it immediately.
  • Wild camping fines start at €150 if police enforce them. Stay hidden from view and never light open fires outside designated areas.
  • National holiday traffic is heaviest on 15 August and Easter weekend. Book ferries and campsites well in advance for these dates.
  • Emergency numbers: European 112 (all services) and 199 (Fire Brigade).
