English-speaking driving school

Learning to drive in Athens, in English

Everything we teach in Greek we can teach in English — the same instructors, the same vehicles, the same school in Agios Dimitrios.

  • Everything explained in English

    Lessons, exam expectations and the licence paperwork are explained in English, so you always know what you are signing and what comes next.

  • Real Athens traffic

    You train on the actual streets of Agios Dimitrios and the southern suburbs — junctions, avenues, pedestrians and city traffic.

  • Our own vehicles

    You learn in the school's cars — manual or automatic — and on the school's motorcycles, the same vehicles you are examined with.

  • A family school since 1987

    The school has been teaching people to drive since 1987 and is now run by the second generation of the family.

How it starts

Your first lessons

We start with the car itself, not with traffic. Once the basic controls feel natural, everything else becomes easier.

  1. 01

    Getting to know the car

    Before the car moves: driving position, seat, steering wheel, seat belt, mirrors and the basic checks.

  2. 02

    First drive in a calm setting

    Moving off, stopping and smooth speed control on quiet roads, until it starts to feel natural.

  3. 03

    Controls without stress

    Pedals, gear changes where they apply and coordination — always with the reason explained, not just an instruction.

Main stages

What we work on in the lessons

Each stage builds on the previous one. We move on because the previous stage is stable, not because time has passed.

  • Basic control

    Smooth moving off and stopping, use of brake and accelerator, turns at the right speed and a steady line.

  • City driving

    Real roads in Agios Dimitrios and the surrounding area: traffic, lights, priorities and pedestrians.

  • Junctions & lane changes

    How you approach a junction, when you give way and how you change lanes safely.

  • Mirrors & observation

    Systematic mirror checks, blind spots and reading early what is happening around you.

  • Parking & manoeuvres

    Parallel and reverse parking, manoeuvres in tight spaces and judging distances correctly.

  • Test preparation

    Getting used to the style of the practical test, so that the day of the exam holds no surprises.

Our vehicles

You train in the school's own vehicles

You are trained in the same car you will be examined in — no surprises at the last minute.

  • Training with a manual or an automatic car, depending on your choice.
  • Well-maintained vehicles with dual controls for your safety.
  • The same vehicle throughout your training, so you stay familiar with it.

If you are specifically interested in training and being examined with an automatic car, see the automatic car driving licence page.
