The downtown area is still quite convenient. You don't have to park in the parking lot. Just keep turning and you will find free parking spaces. It is still more convenient to drive if you have children with you.

It is not necessary to drive in the city of Athens. The scenic spots are all close by. The road conditions are narrow and there are many one-way streets.

In summary, the schedule is too tight, I'm not sure how much time I have left to play, but the days are late in Greece, it's not until 8 o'clock at night that it gets dark, and it doesn't matter if you go late to places without tickets, it takes a long time to get to Meteora from there, whether it's from Athens or your itinerary from Meteora to Delphi, your estimated time will definitely be exceeded, considering that you have six people, you must stop in the middle, driving too fast is tiring and unsafe. Mystras needs to be repaired in the castle on the mountain and the monastery below, Monemvasia also has a castle on top of the mountain and a town crossing, they are all not small, they need a lot of time, I think each point a day is very rushed, relatively speaking, Delphi, Olympia and the Theatre are small points (although they are not small), your itinerary on the 14th is really impossible to do, you have to go from Monemvasia to Nafplion to Epidaurus and then go to Cape Colonna and back to the Temple of Poseidon and back to Athens, you basically have no time to shop, just drive. I really suggest you delete some points and enjoy the leisure of Greece～ ? Greece Q&A

How to refuel when driving in Greece? In Greece, there are many gas stations located along the highways and in cities. Most gas stations accept credit and debit cards, as well as cash. It is important to note that gas stations in Greece tend to close earlier than those in other countries, so it is recommended to refuel before 20:00 local time. When refueling, it is important to ensure that the fuel cap is securely closed to prevent fuel from spilling. Additionally, it is recommended to use unleaded gasoline (regular unleaded or super unleaded) as this is the most commonly used type of fuel in Greece. When driving in rural areas, it is possible that there may be fewer gas stations available, so it is a good idea to plan ahead and know the location of the nearest gas station ? Greece Q&A

When I rented a car on the 18th, the car rental company charged more than 700 euros in consumption (which was actually a deposit).
