So driving around Santorini in our little car.. first day there.. slightly wet out.. we rolled up on an accident just moments after it happened. Couple on a scooter vs a car.. car won.. scooter was in lots of little pieces.. a woman sat in the middle of the road looking very shell shocked, her face covered in blood, her companion lay on the ground next to her in a weirdly contorted position .. not moving at all..
I know scooters are cute and fun.. but if you visit Greece, especially the Islands where scooter rentals are so popular, rent a cheap little car instead.. none of us wants our vacations to end with what I witnessed. The locals drive hard and aggresive.. and really don't want to be slowed down by anyone, the cabbies are even worse, even being in the safety of a car can get nerve-racking sometimes.
I rented a little Peugeot for about 30 euros a day on Santorini.
