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 ?

Fueling Overview: Greek oil prices are aligned with international oil prices, at around 1.68 euros per liter. Diesel is 10% to 15% cheaper than gasoline. Fueling stations mainly offer manual fueling and accept cash or credit card payments. Fueling precautions: 1. Most fueling stations offer manual fueling, with few self-service options. The service is very good, and free window washing is provided when fueling. 2. Large fueling stations accept VISA credit cards, but many small stations in the mountains only accept cash. 3. When renting a car in Santorini, the fuel level may be just enough to reach the nearest fueling station, so it's necessary to refuel after picking up the car. The rental contract will specify the fuel level required upon return (in increments of one-eighth), so attention should be paid before returning the car. 4. Fuel prices in Santorini are very expensive, so be mindful while driving and try to find cheaper options.
