Car Hire in Greece

Once the place where philosophy, democracy and the Olympics were developed and taken on by the outside world, Greece has emerged as a highly sought after holiday destination, drawing visitors from around the globe. With stunning coastlines and scenery, history unrivalled by almost any other place on the planet and a well developed tourism industry all make Greece the perfect destination for a seaside getaway.

While some of the attractions of Greece have been set up to cater for visitors, there are still plenty of secret places to be found, and your hire car will give you the freedom to tour in style while perhaps stopping off for a swim on a secluded beach or exploring amazing ruins without tourist crowds. Auto Europe offers several pick up locations and a large rental car fleet, so finding a car rental in Hastings is both easy and economical.

Exploring Greece with a Car Hire

The capital, Athens is located on the mainland of Greece and is also the largest city in the country. The city has loads to offer tourists, and there are a few sites not to be missed when visiting the area. From most parts you will be able to see the Parthenon, a temple located on the hill known as Acropolis.

Still standing after thousands of years, the Parthenon is a must see, and from the top of the hill you will get an impressive panoramic view of Athens also. To learn a little about the magnificent buildings of the past, drive your rental car to the National Archaeological Museum. Home to thousands of artefacts and details of ancient construction, the museum will give you a wonderful insight into the famous structures throughout the country.

With Greece made up of over 1400 islands, the hardest part of your journey will be deciding which ones to visit. The island of Kefalonia is highly recommended for visitors, with pristine beaches and famous caves among the local attractions. You can also drive your hire car up Mount Enos, one of the tallest mountains in Greece. From the top of the mountain you will get a spectacular panoramic view of many islands in the region.

Another popular island for visitors is Crete, which is also the largest of the Greek Islands. A diverse range of activities await visitors here, and you can collect your hire car at the airport or one of the downtown depots. While on Crete, be sure to drive your hire car to the south coast of the main city Heraklion and see the well preserved Venetian fortress. While driving through town keep an eye out for the many fountains and cathedrals. Drive your rental car along the coast and pick a beach to swim and cool off, or perhaps visit Vai Beach in the east of the island, where you will find the only palm tree forest in Europe.
