Age requirements can vary by provider (and even car type), so be clear on the rules before you book. Some companies in Greece may rent to younger drivers for an extra fee. If you fall outside the typical age bracket, just uncheck 'Driver aged between 25–70' and then enter how old you are to explore your options.

Spend some time getting acquainted with your rental. Check your seat and mirrors, test the brakes and turn signals, and get a feel for its handling before you drive away. And importantly, stick to the right side of the road in Greece.
Local speed limits may vary, but it's typically around 45kph in urban areas and 125kph or so on highways. Always go with what's posted on the road signs.
The blood alcohol concentration (BAC) limit in Greece is 0.05%. Because alcohol doesn't affect all people equally, the best way to be sure you're safe to drive is not to drink anything at all.
Around 8am is one of the busiest times for traffic around this destination. Try to avoid peak travel times generally for a more relaxed drive.
