Why export a car from the Netherlands to Greece?
Greece is a rewarding destination for quality Dutch used cars. Because many Greek islands and regions rely on privately imported vehicles, buyers look for the documented, mileage-verified occasions that the Dutch market is known for.
As an EU member state, Greece charges no import duties. However, the buyer pays a Greek registration tax (telos tasinomisis) on first registration, based on CO₂ emissions, engine size and age. A KTEO technical inspection is required before plating at the regional transport directorate.
The most comfortable route is to drive ±1,200 km to an Italian Adriatic port and take the ferry from Ancona or Bari to Patras (16–22 hours). Overland via the Balkans is possible but around 3,000 km and crosses non-EU territory.
