MOTORCYCLE WARNING
Greece is not the best place to initiate yourself into motorcycling. There are still a
lot of gravel roads - particularly on the islands, and dozens of tourists have acci-
dents every year. Scooters are particularly prone to sliding on gravelly bends. Try to
hire a motorcycle with thinner profile tyres. If you are planning to use a motorcycle
or moped, check that your travel insurance covers you. Many insurance companies
don't offer cover for motorcycle accidents, so check the fine print!
