How did your drive go? I am about to do Ive the Peloponnesus in May if this year, do you have any tips?
Good video mate
Richard, what is your background ? I'm a new subscriber. Thanks
Let me help you I'm Greek as it goes to round about the Highway Code says if no sign says otherwise (stop sign or triangle give way) then every one who gets in the round about has priority so you enter it you have the right of way because you come from the right that's ONLY IF THERE IS NO SIGNS TO CARS ENTERING THE ROUNDABOUT if there are signs stop or give way triangle it means that it's like European roads Belgium France etc that if you are in the round about you have the right of way :)
Hi. Thank you for the clarification, I was wondering what the official line was. Obviously people should follow this rule if in doubt.
If I can do a critique on the rule as it stands. In this case the highway code is wrong about its roundabout guidance. I get the giving way to the right. Its the same in all countries (excluding UK etc). Except for roundabouts when it is reversed in all countries except Greece.
People on the roundabout have to have the right of way because they are leaving. If people entering the roundabout have right of way you can get gridlock because more and more people are entering and they have priority. The highway code goes against physics on this subject.
Granted. Its only an issue at a busy roundabouts!
Thank you again for the official line!
Richard Morris True most of roundabouts have no signs so you give way to cars entering it however some of them tough rarely have give way or stop signs usually big roundabouts crowded.. I know I was born in Belgium but I'm Greek and I live now in Greece that's true though I do disagree with Greek roundabout logic but whatever I just deal with it
@@lcpd26 Άρα προτεραιότητα έχει αυτός που εισέρχεται στο roundabout;
@@yiannisminas2165 σωστά εφόσον δεν υπάρχει πινακιδα στοπ σε εσένα που εισερχεσαι πχ...
Αρεκτες φορές έτσι είναι...
Μόνο σε πλατείες εθνικής, επαρχιακών έχει στοπ εδώ αθηνα όχι δεν έχω δει
I'm an American and we're playing a trip to Greece this summer. We're renting a car and driving from Athens to Kalamata. Does anyone have any tips/suggestions/things to avoid? Thank you.
Hello Thank you for the video. looks like driving is like USA , but i see the steering wheel is on Right side. Do the rentals have Left side steering wheel vehicle. Thanks for the response
How long have you been living in Greece for? I can already notice a tad of a Greek accent.
No I would say welsh
👍
This made me nervous watching. Fog. Reading while driving.
Live and let live. Didn't really think of tolls. Is there many from Sofia or from Bulgarian border to Thessaloniki? Look forward to attacking the roundabouts 😉 unless of course there are striking farmers.. Don't think we will get too big a car...anyway...ra ra ra 😎
At the moment, one toll, 2.40 Euro each way. You pay it when you arrive (like Wales) but also on the way out.
Um I thought Greece must be more modern
Every country has its shady sides ;)
