Sorry, I have two questions. What happens if I return the rental car in Santorini after one hour? And is parking convenient in Santorini? Any recommendations ?

It depends on what time you actually pick up the car. The time is calculated based on the time you pick up the car, and if it's over an hour, it will definitely be counted as one more day!

"Pre-ordering for more than one hour will directly add one day, and parking is relatively convenient."

Default excess will be charged for one more day of rental. Parking is basically free and available as long as there is an empty spot. I didn't get a deposit when I rented a car, and when I returned it, they just took a quick look, which was very relaxed.

The parking on Santorini is very convenient, with no police, no traffic lights, and no surveillance cameras. It's unclear when returning the car after hours, so be sure to inspect the car and communicate clearly. The road conditions on Santorini are good, but the road up to the car pick-up point at the pier is particularly dangerous, otherwise it's a smooth drive.

I will arrive at Santorini at 10:30 pm tomorrow, and the airport car rental shops will be closed, so I have booked a hotel to pick me up. The hotel is in Oia. I plan to rent a car locally the next day. Have you rented a car locally before? Is it convenient? Also, the hotel is in Oia. Is it ok to walk around Oia if I just want to take a look ? Greece Q&A

The road conditions on Zakynthos are still good, but there are many winding roads. I rented a Peugeot 208, and sometimes it's quite difficult to climb steep slopes. There are many one-way streets in the town. Now, the price for Shipwreck Bay and Blue Caves is 20 euros per person. I first went to the Potamitis place to take a boat. There were hardly any people on Sunday. After waiting for a while, a lady asked us if we were going. I asked about the price, and she said it would be 80 euros for two people because it would be a private charter. If we went with others, it would be 20 euros per person. I thought it was too expensive and there were no other people around, so I went to Agios Nikolaos. There weren't many people there on Sunday either. I asked and was told that if we didn't wait and left immediately, it would be 100 euros for two people. If we waited for others, it would be 20 euros. Luckily, after waiting for about fifteen minutes, a couple arrived, and we went together. It took about an hour and a half. It's best to arrive at the Blue Caves between 12-2 pm. I arrived there at nearly 5 pm, and the sun was shining from behind, so it wasn't very visible. I hope this helps you. ? 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). When I returned the car on the 28th, I said it would be refunded within a week. Today, I checked and my credit card still shows more than 700 euros as "unaccounted". What is going on ? Greece Q&A

By the way, when I picked up the car from Thifty/Hertz in Santorini, I swiped 500 euros. I originally thought it was a pre-authorisation deposit, but later found that the bank recorded it as the amount of consumption. Is this normal? Will a refund be made when the car is changed later ? Greece Q&A

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
