Heads Up
- 1. Use the "Ionian Ferries" app to check car ferry schedules between the mainland and Ithaca/Corfu; they can be seasonal.
- 2. Driving in the Peloponnese is gorgeous but curvy; keep your tank half-full as gas stations can be sparse in the mountains.
- 3. Day 6: 6h 3m driving — plan rest stops
- 4. Day 7: 7h 38m driving — plan rest stops
