Always carry the relevant offline map just in case you have a device malfunction. Better to have it and not need it then need it and not have it!

If going to Greece; stick to the mainland as it's cheaper and less touristy than the islands. Plus the mainland has some of the most beautiful places and beaches to visit.

If you own a campervan why not ring a pub you fancy the look of to see if they allow overnight stays in the car park. Most are happy to oblige for free if you spend at the bar. But don't just turn up expecting a place!
