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.
It would be smart not to mention Macedonia either - – the [[Skopje]] issue might be emotional for many (older) Greeks.
In summer it can get very hot in Greece, so be careful that you won't get burned and carry enough water with you.
