Here is the actual route we travelled in Greece, starting from Kipoi (border town with Turkey) to Kakavia (border town with Albania).


Total number of days spent in Greece: 15 days                                                                                        

Cumulative number of days since the start of our journey: 65 days

 

Total distance travelled in Greece: 1,740km

Cumulative distance travelled since the start of our journey: 8,070km



ROUTE FROM KIPOI (BORDER TOWN WITH TURKEY) TO VERGINA:

At Kavala, take in the Aqueduct of Kavala, an impressive water supply system dating back to the 16th century.

At Pella, explore the ancient city which was once capital of the Macedonian kingdom in the early 4th Century BC.

Don't miss the Royal Tombs of the royal dynasty of Macedon (at Vergina). Among the tombs here are those of King Philip II, father of Alexander the Great. 




ROUTE FROM VERGINA TO ATHENS:

At Meteora (a UNESCO world heritage site), visit centuries old Greek Orthodox monasteries perched high on the rock cliffs and take in the scenic rocky landscape from the view point.

At Delfi (or Delphi), visit the Delphi archeological site / museum. The view of the mountains and valleys below from the archeological site is fantastic.

Malaysians do not need a visa for social visits to any Schengen countries (of which Greece is one) for a period up to 90 days within a 6 months period. We got our passport stamped both on entry and exit to evidence the number of days we were in the Schengen zone.  

Carnet de Passages en Douane is also not required for Europe for temporary importation of personal vehicle.
