How to get there
By air
It is the most economical solution, as the amounts have reached the price of 152 euros! (no return - at least)
By train
There is only one UK rail link abroad: the English Channel, which connects it to France.
By road
By car
This solution is not economical (always talking about Greece-United Kingdom), because to achieve this, the trip must be made by road, then the traveler has to pay for the car transport (the only solution is the boat), and so automatically he can continue the journey by the same means, or leave the car in France and rent another one arriving in the United Kingdom. (The second solution can not be implemented if the traveler wants permanent residence there)
