Hello everyone. Is it necessary to rent a car in Athens ?

There is no need. The road is narrow, there are many cars, and there are many slopes. It is also difficult to find parking spaces. The subway and taxis are very convenient.

Athens is notorious for traffic jams. Take the subway or bus, or taking a taxi is not too expensive.

There is no need to rent a car. The Temple of Zeus, Constitution Square, the Acropolis and the main shopping district are not far away and can be reached on foot. Outlets need a combination of bus and taxi, depending on where you are staying.

Athens has only a few scenic spots, and the commercial streets are concentrated. Do you know where you want to rent a car? Santorini should rent a car to play.

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

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
