Pick up a car hire from Ioannina Airport and enjoy gorgeous Greece
Considered a part of both Central and Northern Greece, Ioannina is a gorgeous place that offers visitors an experience of the country far from the typical whitewashed town on an island cliff. It does, however, have an island of its own: the islet of Pamvotis lake, also referred to as Ioannina Island. This is just one of the attractions of the city, others including a fortress castle, beautiful mosques and churches, the Cave of Perama, the archaeological site of Dodona, and many more. Wandering the atmospheric Old Quarter or strolling along the lakefront before you head out to explore in your Ioannina car hire will give you a feel for the unique beauty of this Greek gem.
Pick up your rental vehicle from Ioannina Airport, take a look at the city and then hit the highways for a Grecian adventure. To the east lie Thessaloniki and Kavala, to the west is the coast with ferries to Corfu. You can also head south to Athens with your car rental and explore the capital of Greece. Pack up your road trip essentials, download a few handy driving apps, and you’re ready for a journey to remember.

Greece driving tips
● In Greece, traffic drives on the right-hand side of the road, with overtaking to the left, but on a three-lane highway, the middle lane is for passing.
● Keep cash on hand to pay tolls. Many of the long-distance motorways, which are very useful for long journeys, are tolled.
● You may encounter snow if you head into Northern Greece! If your plans include visiting the mountains during the colder months, read our winter driving tips.
● Roundabouts are common in Greece. They operate differently to those in some other countries: traffic on the roundabout has to give way to traffic entering it.
● The use of seatbelts is compulsory for all occupants of a vehicle on Greek roads.
