thinking about future trip: driving from greece to lithuania
my wife and i are getting ready to a month wandering southern italy and sicily next week and already thinking about next spring. considering flying into greece, renting a car and then driving northward ending in lithuania where she has family - been there 3 times. doable by 70+ couple who have traveled independlently for the last 20 years.
thanks

Autoeurope will rent you a car to do it but it's going to be expensive. On the other hand, it will be cheaper and more reliable (and less hassle/headache) than buying a car in Greece to sell in Lithuania.
Autoeurope shows me $1989 for a 25 day rental in August (pick up Athens airport, drop off Vilnius airport) with collision and theft insurance.
I say go for it. Buy a TomTom and update the maps before you leave.
If you do it, please come back and tell us all about it.

If you pick up the rental car in one country and drop off in another, you will still have to deal with the international drop-off fee.
I can't tell you if it will be cheaper to train/bus part of the way then rent a car or just rent a car for the whole time. You are going to have to play around with travel dates and bus and train timetables to see what the numbers come out to be.
