Changes

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 so anyway since the cars are going to stop most definitely, and the police can be liberal about thatit; however, it is at your own risk.

In summer it can get very hot in Greece, so be careful that you won't get burned sunburned and carry enough plenty of water with you.

Free camping in Greece is not allowed, but fortunately, compared with the other Mediterranean EU countries, there are still a lot of of beaches where you can camp for free and without [[police]] problems. Police may file fine you (eur 150euro) during the summer months (July and August are most probable), so it's best to ask other free campers when you arrive in a beach.

You can camp freely anywhere in the mountains, valleys, hills, river beds etc. Nobody is going to chase you. Anyway the law that forbids free camping was created due to economical reasons so that hotels, organised campings campgrounds and all kind kinds of touristic tourist accommodation can flourish, which means that if you camp where there is no tourism nobody will come after you.
