how long does it take to drive from lisbon,portugal to athens,greece?

Question

im just wondering how long it will take to drive that route straight overland through the former yugoslavia.

If just for leisure, what are the sights in which i can visit??

Answer 1

Take a map, each town you see on the way is a likely stop for sights, as well as many mountain passes, stretches along the coast and most villages.
On a trip this long you can use many slightly different routes too, if you drive 40+ hours, a few more hours to see that one town does not make that much difference.
So it is impossible to point out the best sight.
A quick look at a map show at least 20 mayor towns, each worth a day at least, and as many places that are likely to be great in natural beauty.
I think that you will travel 10 to 15 countries, (depending on whether you try to get as many or as few as possible.)

Buy, or borrow from the library, a good guidebook or two.
I like the Lonely Planet series, but I guess that you need more than one edition to cover the whole area.
You can also use google and a map, just to see all about the towns you will see underway.

Answer 2

I think it's closer to 45 or 50 hours driving which would mean upto 4 days driving if you do 12 hours per day.
As stops en route the places I would recommend include: Pau, Toulouse, Nice, Verona & Ljubljana.

Over 41 hours of solid driving, not including the breaks you need to take.
