This year’s summer villa holiday is on the island of Lefkas, Greece.
Hire car is from Drive S.A who seemed to have reasonable reviews. On arrival met by friendly staff. No hard sell on additional insurances. Led to a Toyota Corolla saloon, with numerous battle scars and a missing wheel trim. Documents in the glove box reveal it’s a 2017. No idea of engine, other than it’s petrol and puny. It really struggles on the hilly roads. Our villa is up the side of a hill, accessed by a dirt track which has a very steep descent into a tiny parking area - think 6 point turn to turn round to get out. It’s so underpowered there’s much slipping of the clutch required to get it started on the ascent out.
It’s a poverty spec, however it has working aircon, thank the Lord.
Hope the clutch survives until Sunday. Wish I’d asked for an auto now :-)
