Travelling by land to Greece
Planning a road trip from the UK to Greece can be a lot of fun and made easy by the wealth of on-line mapping systems we have available these days. Google Maps, Multimap etc will provide very accurate mapping information and with Google Earth you can even follow you journey in 3D. Basically you cover France, maybe Luxembourge, maybe Germany, maybe Switzerland, Italy and then over to Greece by ferry. The journey to Volos can be completed in 3 days or three months the choice is yours.
