Self-drive tours in Greece
The freedom to travel at your own pace
Picture a coastal road winding between olive groves and the sea, the morning sun gilding the cliffs of the Peloponnese, and the freedom to stop whenever a village catches your eye. A coffee on the square, a Byzantine church glimpsed around a bend, a turquoise cove for an impromptu swim: the self-drive tour is the most liberating way to discover Greece. At Kelifos, we have mapped itineraries that lead you to the finest sites without ever rushing you. Your car awaits at the airport, your boutique hotels are booked, your road book brims with good addresses and suggestions for walks. All you need to do is turn the key and let the road carry you.

The Kelifos self-drive: freedom in complete serenity
A self-drive tour is the ideal choice for those who love to shape their days on a whim. You decide when to set off, how long to linger, how much time to spend before a panorama or in a roadside taverna. Yet this freedom does not come at the cost of comfort: each evening, a boutique hotel awaits, carefully selected for its charm, its location and the warmth of its welcome.
Our detailed road book is your travel companion. It suggests day-by-day itineraries with the most scenic roads, unmissable villages, the best lunch addresses and short walking suggestions to stretch your legs. But nothing is imposed: if a region appeals more, extend your stay. If a local market detains you, change your plans. It is your trip.
Should you need anything, our local support team is reachable at all times. Advice on an itinerary, a restaurant recommendation, a practical question: our partners on the ground know every road and every village.
Where to go: the finest driving itineraries
The Peloponnese is the crowning destination for a Greek self-drive tour. Its panoramic roads link major ancient sites (Epidaurus, Mycenae, Olympia) to preserved mountain villages and still-wild coastlines. You drive between the orange groves of Nafplio, pause beside a deserted beach in the Mani, dine on grilled fish overlooking the Gulf of Messinia.
Crete lends itself beautifully to a self-drive tour thanks to its size and diversity. In just a few days of driving, you pass from the paradise beaches of the north coast to the spectacular gorges of the south, from windmill-dotted highland plateaux to fishing villages where time seems to stand still. Every stop is an opportunity to taste a terroir of exceptional richness.
The Ionian Islands, with their cypress-shaded roads and Venetian villages in colourful facades, offer a self-drive experience of incomparable gentleness. Corfu, Kefalonia or Zakynthos are ideally explored behind the wheel, alternating cultural visits, nature walks and swimming in secret coves.
