are a few hints for car hire clients travelling in Greece: GENERAL INFORMATION ON GREECE - for guidance only!
Crime
Most visits to Greece are trouble-free, but you should be aware that the tourist season attracts an increase in incidents of theft of wallets, handbags etc. particularly in areas and events where crowds gather. You should leave valuables in safe custody at your hotel or apartment.
Personal attacks, including sexual assaults and rape, are infrequent. However there have been incidents of sexual assault and rape on some Greek Islands. You are therefore advised to maintain at least the same level of personal security awareness as in the UK. We strongly advise lone visitors, in particular, never to accept lifts from strangers or passing acquaintances at any time.
Local Travel
Generally there are no local travel restrictions, but you should be aware that certain areas near the Greek borders are militarily sensitive, and should be avoided.
Road Safety
British motorists visiting Greece and those hiring vehicles locally should be extra cautious in view of the very high incidence of road traffic accidents.
You are strongly advised not to hire motorcycles, scooters, mopeds or quad bikes, as accidents involving these forms of transport are common and can often result in very serious or even fatal injury. Note that failure to wear a crash helmet might invalidate your travel insurance if you are involved in an accident.
Travellers to Greece intending to hire a moped should be aware that they would require a valid driving licence with at least category A1 - 'light motorcycle` for this purpose. Category P, which is valid in the UK for driving mopeds up to 50cc is not valid in Greece. Greek law requires you to wear a crash helmet on a scooter, moped or motorcycle.
Quad bike riders require a full-face helmet (or non-full-face helmet plus goggles) under Greek law. Road insurance and a motorcycle licence are also mandatory.
LOCAL LAWS AND CUSTOMS
Greek people are renowned for their hospitality. The Greek police are used to dealing with large numbers of foreign tourists, especially on the islands and do so in a low-key way.
Indecent behaviour, including mooning, is not tolerated and the police have made clear that they will not hesitate to arrest. The courts are imposing heavy fines or prison sentences on people behaving indecently.
You should not become involved with drugs of any kind. Possession of even small quantities can lead to long terms of imprisonment.
Driving any vehicle whilst over the legal drinking limit is heavily penalised and can result in stiff fines and/or imprisonment.
If you are seeking employment in bars or night clubs, you are required to have a health certificate/licence issued by the local authorities to work in such establishments. Failure to have such a certificate is punishable by a fine and or imprisonment.
Do not take photographs or make notes near military or official installations. Seek permission before photographing individuals.
In common with many countries there is a requirement in Greece to be able to identify yourself. A passport or document with a photograph on it should be carried at all times.
In order to comply with Greek law, you should ensure that you obtain a receipt for goods purchased. Note that the purchase of pirate CDs in Greece can result in imprisonment.
ENTRY REQUIREMENTS
Greece is a member of the European Union, and as such British nationals do not require visas to enter Greece. EU nationals may stay as visitors for a period of three months. For longer stays, you will need to apply to the appropriate office for a residence permit.
Single parents or other adults travelling alone with children should be aware that some countries require documentary evidence of parental responsibility before allowing lone parents to enter the country or, in some cases, before permitting the children to leave the country. For further information on exactly what will be required at immigration, please contact : Greek representation in the UK
HEALTH
The Greek National Health system provides a basic medical service to Greek NI contributors, and has a reciprocal agreement with the British National Health Service. You should take with you a completed E111 form. This can be obtained free of charge from your local Post Office.
If you are intending to travel to Greece, you should obtain a transitional E111 form (available from August 2004). You should use this for travel to Greece until the advent of the new electronic medical insurance cards in September 2005. The transitional forms will need to be completed for each family member. We also strongly advise that you should take out adequate medical and travel insurance.
There are many Public and Private Hospitals and Medical Centres of varying standards. Doctors and facilities are generally good on the mainland, but may be limited on the islands. The standards of nursing and after care, particularly in the public health sector lag behind what is normally acceptable in Britain. The Public Ambulance Service, which will normally respond to any accident, is rudimentary. There are severe shortages of ambulances on some islands.
For further information on health, check the Department of Health’s website at: www.dh.gov.uk.
NATURAL DISASTER
Mainland Greece and most of the Greek islands popular with British tourists are in seismically active zones, and earth tremors are common. Serious earthquakes are less frequent but do occur. The last major earthquake to cause structural damage was in August 2003 in the vicinity of Lefkada (Ionian Islands).
