Driving Advices for Greece – Traffic Regulations and Road Usage Peculiarities
Car drivers should not forget to treat drivers of mopeds with greater attention. Local moped drivers have one very bad habit - they often overtake other vehicles on the right. Even if there is enough space for overtaking on the left, a moped driver will still do everything possible to overtake a car on the right.
If there is a car with blinking lights in the rearview mirror, it means that that car asks to give way. Possible options for a non-hurrying driver are to ride to the side of the road or to move to the extreme right lane.
According to statistics, the majority of drunk drivers are caught during the night from Saturday to Sunday. If possible, inexperienced drivers should refrain from driving at this time.

Sightseeing of Athens, Greece
Every year on October 28 an unusual holiday is celebrated in Athens. The holiday’s name is Day of Ohi (the meaning of this word has been already mentioned). On this day Greece said "no" to occupation of Italy. So this holiday has been celebrated since the Second World War. Local residents are very funny people who like entertainments. There is simply no weekend in this city that has no folk festivals and celebrations. On Sundays main squares of Athens become the location of interesting musical and theatrical performances; during the days of national celebrations the local people carefully decorate the streets of the city with flower garlands and beautiful placards.
