運転先 Greece

Greece, birthplace of democracy, philosophy, and the Olympic Games, offers ancient ruins, island paradise, Mediterranean cuisine, and warm hospitality. This southeastern European nation blends archaeological wonders with beach escapes across thousands of islands.

Athens presents the Acropolis with the Parthenon—Western civilization's most iconic monument—along with the new Acropolis Museum, ancient Agora, and vibrant Plaka neighborhood. The National Archaeological Museum houses exceptional antiquities.

The Peloponnese offers the ancient sites of Olympia (origin of the Olympics), Epidaurus (remarkable ancient theater), and Mycenae (Bronze Age citadel). Monemvasia's medieval rock fortress and the Mani Peninsula's tower houses provide unique experiences.

Santorini's caldera views and whitewashed villages create the classic Greek island postcard. Mykonos offers cosmopolitan nightlife, while Crete provides Minoan palace ruins at Knossos and diverse landscapes. Rhodes and Corfu blend history with beach resorts.

Greek cuisine defines Mediterranean eating—moussaka, souvlaki, fresh seafood, Greek salad, and tzatziki. Olive oil, feta cheese, and local wines feature in every meal. Ouzo and Greek coffee complete the experience.

Driving in mainland Greece is on the right with good motorways and scenic secondary roads. Island driving varies—some islands have limited roads while others like Crete offer extensive exploration. An International Driving Permit is recommended. Ferry services connect islands to mainland ports.
