If you are driving in Nafplion, be warned. You cannot avoid the worst junction we have ever come across.
At some point in the town, the south west end, about four roads all converge, two of them dual carriageways and no-one in particular having right of way. There are no traffic lights or give way signs nor is there a roundabout. It's every man for himself and it's a most terrifying experience, especially when you are in a hire car. I must admit, most drivers treat this junction with respect and gingerly edge their way across. We were wondering if any of the drivers would actually stop and give way but when we met opposing traffic, we were let through with no problems. There doesn't seem to be a good time to cross this junction!!! although siesta is obviously quieter.
The worst thing for me was once we knew about it, knowing we were going to encounter it again.....
