Speeding limits on Mykonos

It is absolutely critical to say that you’re not allowed to drive if you’re below the age of 21. And, Greeks are pretty serious about seat belts. Driving without a seat belt is illegal and is considered a punishable offence. The speeding limits in different areas of Mykonos are given below:

The legal alcohol-blood level

Special is that the Greek police is allowed to stop any moving vehicle without probable cause. Most of the time, the police pulls over a vehicle on the suspicion of drinking and driving due to irrational behaviour on the road. However, the police in Mykonos doesn’t need a reason to stop you. This means that you might be apprehended even if you are completely resonable. If there is more alcohol in your blood than 0.5 mg per ml you will be fined according to the alcohol level. A table containing the alcohol level and the penalty is given below:

Keep in mind that 12 points on your license will mean the complete suspension of it. The given point waiver after a time period of three years. It doesn’t matter whether you’re a foreigner driving a hired car or a citizen, these laws will apply to you.

Places to see in Mykonos

Driving around Mykonos in a hired car

Mykonos, as we said earlier, is loaded with sights to see and places to visit. The country has one of the most ancient civilizations dating back before the birth of Christ. The architecture from those days still stands and Mykonos bears witness to a number of such locations. There are great places like Mount Cynthus located off of Mykonos on islands that are definitely worth a visit. You might need to hop out of your hired car for some locations and take the ferry, but no doubt, you’ll make memories you’ll cherish forever.

Festivals on Mykonos

We have to say, when it comes to major festivals, Mykonos falls short compared to other cities. They don’t have many festivals; just two or three huge ones rather than 5 or 6 big ones. But, the few festivals that the locals do manage to organise are something you won’t see anywhere else in the world. The way the Greeks commemorate the LGBTQ community is something that you should experience even if you’re straight. Two of the biggest events of the year in Mykonos are listed below:

• Mykonos Summer Festival
• XLSIOR (Mykonos Gay Festival)
