Infrastructure and road traffic

The Greek mainland has a well-developed road network of 117,000 km. The logistics infrastructure is constantly being improved. No vignette is required, yet a toll must be paid on most motorways.

Due to its geographical location, Greece is suitable as a logistical hub between west and east. A special feature of freight transport is the considerable share of road transport in logistics, namely almost all goods are transported by road.
