Quick answer

Main Greek motorways have toll stations every so often. You can usually pay by cash or card at manned lanes; electronic transponder lanes are for registered users only. Keep small change as a backup.

What to know

  • Do not enter transponder-only lanes without a device.
  • Rental cars rarely include transponders; ask.
  • Tolls add up on long drives — check route costs before you go.
