Greece Travel Guía

Greece this is a comfortable place to the acquisition around, because Greece has an enormous system of local transport that consists of ferries, trip in plane, buses and trains for trips between cities and more local options of transport inside a city or an island. You can travel to almost any place round  public transport route.

The buses are the support of transport of ground, with a network that stretches the hand to the smallest villages. The trains are a good option that is available. To most of tourists, although that travel in the way of Greece that jumps island on the multitude of the ferries that interlace Adriatic Sea and the Aegean Sea. If you are hurried, Greece also has an extensive air network domestic.

As plane A number of islands has together airports with Crete, Rhodes, Samos, Kos, Thira and Mykonos, between others. From 16 international airports of Greece only Athens and Thessaloniki receive regular flights of the foreigner. There is not greatly in the way of the island to island flights. During the summer there are generally several flights for day of Athens to each of the main islands. These flights generally take one hour or less. The Greek bearer Routes air Olympic and its branches it offers most of flights inside Greece. Two or three other companies have been born during a few last years, offering additional flights about Greece.

By the Ship the most agreeable way of going, managing around is the part of the diversion of its trip. The capture of a ship also might be the only way of putting itself to some islands. Also, the expeditionary way of which the Greeks tend to approach still a short jump is an agreeable introduction to the local custom. There are extensive connections of Athens and intermediate islands to "jump". The ferries are on a thing in Greece that it leaves on time without absence. In August, the ferries fill due to the national Holiday (August 15). New ”rapid ferries” shorten aveces the distances to the half but the prices are lightly more expensive. The simple solution with questions on ferries is: do not worry about it.

It is something of a myth that Greek ferries are unforeseeable. But bear in mind that this is sea trips. Do not plan a program pressed about ships. Nothing except a thunderstorm force will stop the big car ferries, but ferries it can come late in an enclosed final destination when the time is well. The information of more confidence is that you raise the day of exit.

In car the Acquisition about Greece for the car can be one extremely the experience of satisfaction, the permission you to explore the incredibly scenic and varied area of the lines of the coast of the country, the interior, and islands, when it turns out to be suitable to him. Nevertheless, Greece really has a relatively high tariff of fatality of the way, between the highest in the European Union. Many Greek drivers tend to drive violently, and the challenges of positions of reality topographic nationals for forcing a lot of narrow ways in mountainous regions and several sprains and returns. The tariff of fatality of the way regularly has been diminishing as a result of government campaigns, the most resistant alertness, and the legislation. The ways are in general different and well maintained, and billion euros are being spilled in the enlargement of the national network of freeways of multipath. Because of the rapid growth and the development of the national system of the way, they advise it to have the road maps informed possible. Many of the most recent freeways are toll freeways, and the fees can be expensive.

The rent of a car in Greece is simple and cheap. You can pay everywhere of $150-$200 per week for a car “of economy” that would allow him the freedom of traveling everywhere you he wants. "Mini" cars can be rented for this way little like the week 100-$-$150. Make sure that the price that is quoted includes all the taxes, the insurance, and fees (like airport fees). The drivers who do not keep the certificate of the driver of European Union must take an international driving license obtained in its fatherland. They cannot need this renting a car, but of course it will need of being involved in an accident or thrown by the police for a traffic appointment. The insurance policy can be empty if the driver is a driver of not European Union without an international license.

In bus believe or not it, there are buses in Greece. Inter-city buses are a very popular option for domestic trips. KTEL is the national network subsidized by government of the independent business that cooperate together to form a dense system of route that serves almost the entire country. The system is efficient, reliable, and relatively cheap. This serves so much long distances as short, including routes of main cities to islands close to the continent, like the Island Corfu and Cephalonia (in such cases, the ship crossing is included in the price of the ticket of bus). The buses frequency, as with ferries, changes with the station. Some services, like special routes outside to beaches, they are going to for obvious motives to be cancelled in out of period.

For Trains there are the cheapest way for the surroundings, but the railroad national system enormously is limited. This it stems from the indifference after the arrival of employment of car of big scale and trip in plane, and also due to technological difficulties spent in the overcoming of the difficult area of the country. The importance of railroad trips now is being discovered again, and the railroad national network is at present in the main renewal. The completion of the project is still very far, but the tourists can already benefit from the first sections of the railroad modernized system that have been inaugurated. A completely new railroad suburban and regional system, the Proastiakos, has been opened in 2004 for the Ática and adjacent regions and it is under the remote extension. There also there has been extensive the modernization of the corridor of Athens-Thessaloníki.

By Donkeys they are used to several islands for walks, but especially taken by visitors. In Santorini for the occasion you can raise the city of the port on a donkey, or a cable car. To several small islands the neighbors still use donkeys for the transport since they are very capable on narrow steep streets.

For the Food Considered a way of transport, walk it will obtain him to places where not still a donkey will take him. This is also the only way of putting itself to places where you can experience something ‘of peace’ that a natural fund offers, as you can be illustrated in this track map. For example, the island of SIFNOS is a place where extensive Kalderimi himself is still present, and you can spend days exploring the island on foot. But, to be warned, some tracks are more in the frequent employment, and they have grown too much with the thorn rubbing.
