Road Safety?
British motorists visiting Greece and those hiring vehicles locally should be extra cautious in view of the very high incidence of road traffic accidents.
You are strongly advised not to hire motorcycles, scooters, mopeds or quad bikes, as accidents involving these forms of transport are common and can often result in very serious or even fatal injury. Note that failure to wear a crash helmet might invalidate your travel insurance if you are involved in an accident.
Travellers to Greece intending to hire a moped should be aware that they would require a valid driving licence with at least category A1 - 'light motorcycle` for this purpose. Category P, which is valid in the UK for driving mopeds up to 50cc is not valid in Greece. Greek law requires you to wear a crash helmet on a scooter, moped or motorcycle.
Quad bike riders require a full-face helmet (or non-full-face helmet plus goggles) under Greek law. Road insurance and a motorcycle licence are also mandatory.
