Driving from London to Athens (and taking the Ferry from Italy to Greece) at a normal pace takes around 3 and a half days. Make sure  you have your driving license and are properly insured to cover Europe. It is also worth checking other regulations regarding driving through Europe. e.g. always carry a warning triangle with you, spare light bulbs etc.

It is well worth planning your route carefully- many roads through Europe carry a toll and your journey can end up to be quite expensive.

The Greek Automobile Club (ELPA) operates a breakdown service within 60Km of Athens and Patras: dial 104. If you belong to an automobile club at home, breakdown service is free anywhere.

Motorbikes are great fun and wonderful in the Greek climate-but it would be advisable to take your own. Even then you must be aware that the roads are rough and often slippy in the wet.  Expect the unexpected - there can be lots of gravel on corners, goats, pigs - you name it, you could encounter it. So ride carefully.   Helmets must be worn by law but few Greeks abide by it. However be warned - some islands are beginning to enforce this law.

If you hire a bike or moped - do check it out. The Greeks are notorious for their lack of maintenance. Check brakes, oil and essentials before leaving the hire shop. There are one or two unscrupulous dealers who offer comprehensive insurance but only give you third party - so ask around and get the best deal.

Above all - ride safe!
