To paraphrase the saying "when the going gets tough, the tough get going," with petrol prices hitting the roof in Greece, combined with the general economic distress, when the …car-going gets tough, the tough carpool!

The network pamemazi.gr, powered by the global leading carpooling platform carpooling.com, connects people who can share a ride and the corresponding expenses! Pamemazi.gr offers rides within major cities like Athens and Thessaloniki, but also includes itineraries between different cities or even regions.

The platform is really easy to use: you create an account and then you can either search for preferred routes or register your itinerary along with details such the time of departure, meeting point and the cost for each prospective carpooler.

Founded in 2010, pamemazi.gr has now joined forces with the Municipality of Thessaloniki and mobithess.gr (Thessaloniki Urban Mobility Centre), a web-platform designed for residents and visitors who plan their travel in the city. Pamemazi.gr maintains that by sharing a ride, we can save money and gas, reduce auto emissions and hey… make new friends and share experiences!
