Greece is one of Europe's oldest and most visited tourism destinations, with a coach hire market shaped by the country's geography: a mainland dominated by Athens and Thessaloniki, and hundreds of islands ranging from large and well-serviced (Crete, Rhodes, Corfu) to tiny and vehicle-restricted (Santorini, Mykonos, Hydra). Athens is the largest single market, anchored by the Acropolis, Delphi day trips, and cruise ship turnarounds at Piraeus. The island markets operate seasonally, with June to September being overwhelmingly dominant.
Greek coach operators are licensed under the Ypourgeiou Ypodomon (Ministry of Infrastructure and Transport). Fleet quality varies more than in Western European markets — Athens and Thessaloniki operators tend to run more modern vehicles than some island operators. When booking for islands, confirm vehicle age and air conditioning, as summer heat is significant. Greece uses the Euro.
