'''Greece''' is a country in [[Southern Europe]], bordering [[Turkey]], [[Bulgaria]], [[Macedonia]] and [[Albania]]. It is a member state of the [[European Union]] as well as the [[Schengen Agreement]].
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 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.

It is very hard to hitchhike using mainly [[petrol station]]s - it can cause long waiting hours since they are a litte little off the highway motorway and quite small for Western criteriascriteria. 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 highwaymotorway). It is not recommended to thumb on the highwaysmotorways, 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.
It would be smart not to mention Macedonia either - the [[Skopje]] issue might be emotional for many (older) Greeks.
