Four new toll stations to open on Egnatia Odos highway

Four new toll stations are due to open on the Egnatia Odos highway in northern Greece on December 14, increasing the cost of motorists' journeys.

The new tolls will be at Pamviotida, Mesti, Ieropigi and Evzones, with charges being calculated according to distance.

A regular car, for example, will have to pay 1.20 euros at Pamviotida and 2.10 euros at Ieropigi.

Two wheels good, four wheels bad? ATV owners protest in Greece

Hundreds of four-wheel motorbike owners, most from Greek holiday resorts, have blocked traffic outside the country's Transport Ministry to protest a proposed vehicle ban.

The bikes, also known as all-terrain vehicles, ATVs, or quad-bikes, are popular among tourists on Crete, Zakynthos and other Greek islands, and are often seen as a safer option than motorbikes.
