Car rental in Nea Potidea

No. The main route connecting Thessaloniki Airport (SKG) to Nea Potidea via the A25 and EO24 expressways is entirely toll-free. You will not encounter any toll plazas on this specific transit corridor.

Nea Potidea sits on an isthmus severed by a shipping canal, connecting mainland Chalkidiki to the Kassandra peninsula. The expressway narrows into a tight two-lane structure across the canal bridge, creating an unavoidable bottleneck for all vehicular traffic entering or leaving Kassandra.

Driving between Kassandra and Sithonia is overland and fully permitted. However, loading the rental car onto a ferry (e.g., to Skiathos, Thassos, or Skopelos) is strictly prohibited by standard Greek rental contracts unless you obtain prior written authorization and purchase supplementary maritime transit insurance.

Street parking in Nea Potidea is generally free where curb lines are unmarked or marked in white, but finding legal spots near the beaches and canal promenade during peak season is difficult. Never park on yellow curbs, curves, or harbor slips, as police frequently remove license plates as a punitive measure.

Rental companies strictly exclude undercarriage and tire damage caused on unpaved gravel tracks or dirt paths leading to secluded beaches. Driving on unpaved roads will invalidate your CDW insurance; stick to paved routes or rent an authorized SUV class.

Non-EU travelers must present a valid national driver's license held for at least one year, a physical credit card in the main driver's name for deposit pre-authorization, and an International Driving Permit (IDP) unless their home country has a specific reciprocal treaty with Greece (such as the UK, US, Australia, or Canada).
