Discover three road-trip Greek routes driving you through ancient history to hidden island beaches
Greece is a destination that offers something to everyone. Beaches? Ancient ruins? Island life? Culture, music, and tasty Mediterranean flavours? Everything for a perfect vacation.
With CARWIZ locations across the country and its islands, it’s easy to explore whatever you’d like. We’ve formed three routes from airport offices that could make your trip easier:
Land in Athens, explore the iconic Acropolis, then hit the road towards the Peloponnese peninsula for scenic coastal roads, and stop at viewpoints to look at imposing castle towns, fir-covered mountains, and rushing rivers. On the western side, you can find Ancient Olympia, the birthplace of the Olympic Games.
Explore lively Thessaloniki before you drive towards the crystal-clear waters of Halkidiki and try Greek specials by the sea. Are you a fan of mythology? Driving through olive-green hills will get you to the legendary Mount Olympus, famous as the grand home of the Twelve Olympian gods and the golden throne of Zeus.
Land in Chania or Heraklion and explore Crete’s rugged coastline and secluded beaches. Feel Corfu’s salty breeze after landing, turn up the music in your rental and cruise along the coast with turquoise waters stretching beside you. For a taste of Greek culture, land in Rhodes to discover ancient history and lively seaside tavernas, or choose Santorini office pick-up to experience spectacular caldera views and unforgettable orange sunsets.
