A note about driving in Greece: It’s not that hard. Here’s what I can tell you. If you’ve ever driven in Italy, that means that you can certainly handle Greece. If you’ve driven in Greece, that doesn’t prepare you in the slightest for driving in Italy.

And then there’s this: You might think twice, if you were Greek, about jumping in your car and driving, say, 100 kilometers to see Delphi. Or the monasteries at Meteora. But if you’re an American? Think about it: 100 kilometers is just about the distance between Spokane and Ritzville.
