Many manned petrol stations have full service, where tipping is customary. It is often prohibited to take along fuel in a reserve tank on ships.

The network of charging stations is not yet well-established. Plan your visit well.

Information about crossing times, departure times and rates can be found at ferry companies such as europeanseaways.com, grimaldi-lines.com, minoan.gr, superfast.com and ventourisferries.com. Rates depend on the season and departure time. It is recommended that you reserve on time.
Check beforehand with the ferry company whether gas bottle can be taken along on the boat. It is often prohibited to take along fuel in a reserve tank. Keep in mind that the number of places for motorhomes is limited on ferries. If you are travelling to Greece through Italy in the high season, it is wise to book early. Tickets for ferry services between the Greek islands are best purchased a day before you leave.

Low beam headlights are mandatory when visibility is poor, when it is dark and in tunnels. At equivalent crossings, traffic from the right has right of way. On a roundabout that has no right-of-way sign (or traffic light), drivers on the roundabout must give right of way to drivers coming from the right. Uphill traffic on mountain roads has priority over downhill traffic. You may only call handsfree and may not wear headphones or earbuds. Children shorter than 1.35 metres must be in a child’s seat.

A bicycle helmet is not mandatory. Calling or texting while cycling is prohibited. You may not transport a passenger on the baggage rack (but may transport a child in a child’s seat). Cycling side-by-side is prohibited.

You must pay toll on most Greek motorways. Keep cash handy. Not all means of payments are accepted everywhere. If you are travelling with car and caravan, you must often pay a double rate. For motorhomes, the rate is often even higher. More information can be found at the websites of the road maintenance authorities: egnatia.eu, kentrikiodos.gr, aegeanmotorway.gr, aodos.gr/en, neaodos.gr, kentrikiodos.gr, moreas.com.gr, olympiaodos.gr, gefyra.gr.

Most campsites are of a very good quality. The toilet facilities may be somewhat dated but they are usually well maintained. Campsites with clearly defined pitches can be found on the mainland and the Peloponnese peninsula. The campsites on the smaller Greek islands focus mainly on tent campers. Keep in mind that most campsites along the sea are considerably less busy during the early and late seasons than in July and August. You might not be able to make use of all amenities then. Free camping (outside of campsites) is prohibited.
