Hi mates,
I'm planning a motorcycle trip across south-eastern Europe and Greece is on my way. I plan to be in Greece on the 5th of August. I plan to come from Bulgaria and be heading to Igoumenitsa to catch the ferry to Italy (Bari or Brindisi).
I'll be really grateful if you share some tips to make my stay in Greece nicer. I have some specific questions:
1. Can you make some suggestions about the roads? I prefer to go on roads with nice views, turns, etc. I'd also prefer toll-free roads. Are there paid highways on my path?
I'll be also happy to get info about interesting sights around my route. I plan to spend a couple of hours on the Aegean cost somewhere around Thessaloniki and maybe go to the city itsself and even have a beer with some of you :-)
2. How is the traffic police? Are there lots of speeding cameras or they rely more on under-cover police cars with radars? Are there any specific requirements like spare light bulbs or sth like that?
3. I have some url of sites for booking ferries but I didn't find a suitable one. Which is the best way to book a ferry, can you suggest a site? I'm looking for a nightly ferry on the 4th of August
4. It will be great if you can share info about motorcycle service and tyre repair centres along the way in case of emergency.
5. And of course everyone willing to join the trip in some part is welcome!
Thanks everyone!
