last time we were there, we flew in to Thessaloniki from Frankfort. Took a taxi from the airport to Xanthi. It was late at night, and the driver was running over 200 KPH on two lane mountain roads. He would pass uphill, on curves. That was about as frightened as I have ever been in a car. Greeks drive like maniacs.

Sam, you are absolutely right about that! They may well be the kings of the maniacs in Europe!

We were going from Athens airport to Syntagma square, where we'd then catch a cab down into the Plaka (city center, no car zone - just below the Acropolis). We were in an accordion bus doing ~ 80 mph.

The ride back to the airport at the end of our trip in a 550/560 Mercedes at 5:30 a.m. was equally nuts. Mind you, The Athens airport is outside the city. When I looked over from the passenger side front seat, we were doing 135-140 kph. Driver looked over and smiled. Meanwhile, halfway to airport and still O'dark thirty, a Porsche and Beemer were out to play and passed us like we were standing still. Those Greek phugggers are crazy!
