Following the locals, the maximum speed can reach 150. Has anyone tried to exceed the speed limit without a ticket ?

I basically exceeded the speed limit throughout and ran with local friends.

Travelling, take it easy. There's no need to rush like this.

There are few speed traps in Greece, and the Google Maps do not have any alerts. When overtaking on the highway, the speed can occasionally exceed 130km/h, but once back on the lane, the speed is always around 130km/h. When traveling, safety comes first. There is no need to take risks to save dozens of minutes and dozens of kilometers of speed. Paying a fine is secondary, isn't it?

I've been speeding a lot of times, but I haven't been fined. Sometimes I had to speed up, and there was no place to let.

Not a big problem to follow the local car. There are usually reminders of speed checks on the side of the road. But it's troublesome to meet the mobile ones.

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
