Greece by Road — Long-Distance Luxury
Greece's national road network has been transformed by the Egnatia Odos motorway (crossing northern Greece east to west) and the Ionia Odos (Athens to Ioannina). Long-distance chauffeured travel — once arduous — is now a viable luxury alternative to domestic flights, particularly for clients carrying significant luggage, equipment, or pets.
Key Long-Distance Routes
Athens to Thessaloniki: 500km, 5 hours in a Rolls-Royce Ghost or Bentley Flying Spur. Stop for lunch at a family estate en route through Thessaly. Athens to Ioannina: 440km through Delphi and the Pindus Mountains — one of the most scenic drives in Europe. Athens to Corfu: Drive to Igoumenitsa ferry port (6 hours), ferry crossing (90 minutes). Cross-border: Athens to Sofia (Bulgaria), Athens to Skopje — diplomatic and business routes coordinated with border formalities management.
