Moving around in Greece - transportation
Roads in major cities of Greece are average. At the same time, the quality of pavement is constantly improving. Many of the routes marked on the map as ground, have long been covered with a solid layer of asphalt. However, the statistics of road accidents is quite deplorable. The most common cause of catastrophes is overtaking, although in cities and the speed limit of 50 kilometers per hour is accepted. Motorcycles and mopeds are used too. At the same time, the behavior of drivers of two-wheeled vehicles is still less aggressive than in the countries of Asia. On some islands, for example, Kos or Fesalia, there are quite a few cyclists. It is worth noting that car drivers are respectful of them. A bicycle is not the best way to travel along the mainland Greece, as the terrain is very hilly. There are practically no dedicated bicycle lanes in the country.
