As a tourist, I usually prefer visiting the big cities and there usually are direct flights to get there. However, when I am in France, I prefer taking the train -- as France is reputed for having fast trains. Sometimes, I go to small towns, where I must connect flights -- please note connecting can be horrible!
 . As many of you live in Greece, you probably use the car to travel nationally, right? I'm not sure if there are many airports in the country. You might have good trains there; I don't know. What kind of transportation to you take to get to your final destination, when you travel? -------------------- Nbleven,

in Greece, trains are slow especially in the southern part where my origins are ( the InterCity rail system is not as fast as in central Europe but it is very trustworthy for the northern part of the country ). In Greece we have a Guiness record : rail system used below Athens is different/incompatible with the one above it geographically !
Anyway, airports are sort of primitive in Greede too ( this doesn;t apply for Athens: we have one of the most modern and sophisticated airports in the world ) bus transport is good if you are not in a hurry or have a good way to get to the bus depot too. Sea transport is the only way in some occasions ( islands with no decent air service ) but i am not from an island so i only go there for holidays. I typically drive to [wiki]Kalamata[/wiki], southern Peloponese and i take my car. Airplane is almost the only way when i travel abroad ( although i went to Bulgaria last year by car  )
