Driving
Driving in Greece is on the right, while overtaking is on the left. Driving defensively is advisable in Greece as local drivers often drive dangerously. The highways are well maintained and there is a clear distinction between lanes. The fast lane should never be obstructed and the middle lane is always used for overtaking. Outside of the main cities, roads can be slightly more careworn. A road map is useful as not all roads are signposted. Many petrol stations close on Sunday, although by law one must be open on Sunday in each area. Heavy fines are enforced for drivers who run red lights, cross double white lines or do not stop at stop signs.
