Basic driving rules in Greece

Driving is always on the right hand side of the road and priority is to the right.

You must have your national or international drivers license on you at all times.

In traffic circles, traffic moves in a anticlockwise direction.

All of the occupants of the vehicle must wear a seat-belt, in the front of the vehicle as well as at the back. Child car seats and booster seats must also be used when necessary.

Always overtake on the left and leave a good distance before merging back into your lane especially in front of trucks.

The legal blood-alcohol limit is less than 0.5 g/l

Some drivers in Greece have a tendency to drive in the emergency lane even though it is strictly reserved for emergency vehicles.

Useful numbers :

  • Police 100
  • EMT 166
  • Firefighters 199
  • European emergency number 112

In the case of an accident first call: 112

Using a cell phone while driving is prohibited. 

Be aware that traffic signals differ from vertical to horizontal from one country to another. Pay attention and adjust your driving!
