Changes

Contrary to belief, Greek drivers will rarely if ever ask for money. Because there are few [[motorway]]s in Greece, the national roads become great havens of locals and long distance drivers pouring in from the south east to west and vice versa, up into the north. Greece can be a little slow because many Greeks tend to seemingly be afraid of Albanians. ''(???)'' It's best not to ask too much about it as something close to racism and prejudice comes out.You can't cross the border by foot!

It is very hard to hitchhike using mainly [[petrol station]]s - it can cause long waiting hours since they are a little off the motorway and quite small for Western criteria. Besides, you can barely find any in the northern parts of Greece. The best way to get lifts is to hitch right on the road (if it is not a motorway). It is not recommended to thumb on the motorways, although some hitchhikers do that anyway since the cars are going to stop most definitely, and the police can be liberal about that; however, it is your own risk. Greek people speak most of the time english or sometimes russian (because of immigration in he past)t
