What are the local driving habits?
Greece suffers Europe’s worst accident rate in terms of the number of collisions per vehicle, many of these as a result of overtaking. If someone wants to pass you, let them avoid getting into a race. Keep a look out for drivers turning onto the road in front of you without checking to see if anyone is coming. Watch out for tourists in hire cars stopping very suddenly in front of you to get that all important photograph. Many locals will not slow down if it rains, many locals will overtake even if they cannot see the road ahead, many locals will take blind corners too fast and too wide those shrines you see at the side of the road are in memory of many locals.
