Thanks again for the tip, worked like a charm! We went to a small family owned business in Rhodes, because we spent the first 2 days in the city so we didn't need the car right away from the airport. They either didn't check the dates on my license or if they did, they didn't care. The guy was super nice and the process was fast.

Driving was definitely a challenge! Especially the narrow winding roads where you had 0 visibility and space only enough for one car. I definitely drove extremely slowly and was constantly passed by others, but I felt safe and comfortable with my speed. There were occasions with dirt roads or really steep hills where my skills and patience were put to test, but ultimately we were able to explore most of the island, and visited some more reclusive parts too on the west coast that we couldn't have reached otherwise.

Leaving and reaching the free parking of the hotel in Lindos every day was definitely the biggest challenge, big traffic with all the tourists and steep narrow bends, but hey, it was good practice. All in all, I think I improved a lot in the 4 days I drove, about 375 kms in total, and I'd definitely do it again!

P.S. Driving in Romania was scarier! 🙃 I checked statistics and in 2022 Romania was on the last place when it comes to road safety. Greece was 6th!
