Heading to Greece this summer and want to explore beyond the tourist spots. Is car hire Greece the best option for getting around the islands and mainland? How's the driving there - are the roads as chaotic as people say? And what about parking in cities like Athens?

Absolutely go for car hire in Greece if you want real freedom! The roads aren't that bad once you get used to the... let's call it "enthusiastic" local driving style. Pro tip: book an automatic if you're not comfortable with manual - hills in Santorini are no joke! Found a great platform with local rental options that won't rip you off here: https://getrentacar.com/en-US/greece . Just avoid parking in Athens center - it's cheaper to leave your car at the hotel and use metro.
