The price of car rental in Thessaloniki increases significantly for those tourists who are involved in an accident. It is worth remembering that if there are no casualties, when both drivers are not at odds and the cars are not significantly damaged, it is not necessary to call the police. Otherwise, the police and medical staff should be called immediately.
Parking in the center of Thessaloniki can be difficult, as parking is scarce. During the summer months, locals prefer to use underground parking lots, where the car doesn't overheat. When parking, pay attention to the color of the markings on the curb:
- Blue - paid parking. You should attach a ticket to your windshield. The tariff depends on the duration of parking (the longer, the cheaper).
- White - free parking. On weekends, you can park for free in the harbor and waterfront area.
- Yellow - parking is prohibited.
By the way, some hotels require you to pay for parking separately.
