Hello
I have a NYC drivers license.
We have just moved to Greece and intend to live here - As permanent residents

1. How long can I drive here with an american drivers license? (i did not apply for an international DL)
2. Do I need to get a Greek driver's license if I want to drive my own a car (car registered in Greece)?
3. Whats the best way to do this?

Thanks
Ali
