Local Booking Considerations

Athens is the perfect starting point for a Greek road trip - with your own car, Cape Sounion, Delphi and the Peloponnese are all easy day trips. Driving is on the right, and the motorways out of the city (Attiki Odos and the national roads) use tolls paid by cash or card. In the centre, park in a garage and explore the old quarters on foot. Summer demand peaks June to September, so booking early gets better prices. Planning island hops by ferry from Piraeus? Ask the AbbyCar team in advance.
