Motorways open again
Since autumn 2003 you can
again drive safely and comfortably – without visa
fees or additional car insurance – via Austria, Hungary,
former Jugoslavia (Serbia) and Macedonia to Greece. The
streets destroyed during the war have for the most part
been rebuilt. The greater part of the route consists of
motorway. The route via Croatia is also easily drivable,
if you do not want to come via Hungary. All of which means
that the north of Greece has regained its original attraction
as a holiday destination for you !
Possible Routes are:
Germany - Austria - Maribor (Croatia) -
Zagreb (Croatia) - Belgrade (Jugoslawia) - Nis (Jugoslavia)
- Skopie (Macedonia) - Thessaloniki (Greece)
Or, alternatively,
Germany - Vienna (Austria) - Budapest (Hungary)
- Szeged (Hungary) - Novi Sad (Jugoslawia) - Belgrade (Jugoslawia)
- Nis (Jugoslawia) - Skopie (Macedonia) - Thessaloniki (Greece)
Both routes will take
you, inclusive of necessary short breaks every 3 hours,
about 2 ½ days from North Germany (Hamburg) driving
at steady cruising pace. Plenty of overnight accomodation
is available en-route, for example in Szeged at the Hungarian-Jugoslav
border. Up-to-date information can be had from the ADAC
(German road-accident and break-down service) On top of
all that, PETROS will travel the route via Budapest himself
in the winter of 2003/2004 and will report on possible difficulties
as well as giving information as to the total cost involved
on this website. |
