Driving Tips for Thessaloniki
A rental car in Thessaloniki provides the freedom to explore the city, as well as the surrounding regions. For the optimal experience, familiarize yourself with Greece’s unique driving features:
- Road signs: Signs may be in Greek and Latin or English, so take some time to review the essential signs, such as “ΣΤΑΣΗ” (STOP).
- Traffic: Thessaloniki is known for having dense traffic, so always be alert for pedestrians, cyclists, motorcyclists, and your fellow vehicles when navigating the city roads.
- Fuel up: Gas stations in Thessaloniki are generally self-service. If you're not confident, opt for SIXT’s prepaid fueling option, which means you can return the car with an empty tank.
- Parking: Metered street parking can be challenging to find during Thessaloniki's busiest hours. Opt for paid parking lots or garages for the most streamlined parking experience.
- Varying terrain: Thessaloniki has a mix of ancient and new roads, so be prepared for narrow streets, cobblestones, and curving mountain roads if you venture into the countryside.
