From: Ben Dover on 19 Jun 2010 09:50 I am in the early stages of planning a trip to Europe that includes flying to Rome, renting a car, then driving around the Adriatic to Athens. From Athens I will be sailing to Amorgos, spend a week or two, then back to Romen via the ferry. Does anyone have any experience driving this route? Any advice appreciated! TIA!

Well, Rome is the opposite side of Italy from the Adriatic. There are some airports on the Adriatic coast that might save you some driving. And you might want to check that with the rental company (especially if planning a one-way rental, which is not clear.) -- Bartc

Also, if he can take the car on a ferry - the insurance may exclude damage or total loss on ferries. Lonelyplanet/thorntree has some reports on driving the route. T.

The Bradt guide to Montenegro says the local folklore has a spoof tourist board slogan "Come to Montenegro - your car's here already". ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- e m a i l : j a c k @ c a m p i n . m e . u k Jack Campin, 11 Third Street, Newtongrange, Midlothian EH22 4PU, Scotland mobile 07800 739 557 <http://www.campin.me.uk> Twitter: JackCampin

Unless your car is a Mercedes in which case it is already in Albania. |
