Licence Requirements
For scooters up to 125cc: You need an A1, A2, or A motorcycle licence. A standard car licence (Category B) is not sufficient for scooters in Greece.
For scooters 150cc+: You need an A2 or A motorcycle licence. These models are more powerful and require a higher licence category.
Always carry your original licence (not a photocopy) and make sure it clearly shows the motorcycle category.
