How do removals to Greece from the UK work?
Removals from the UK to Greece run door-to-door, by road for most households and by sea for the islands and larger consignments. We pack and collect in the UK, prepare the Greek customs paperwork, and deliver to your new address, with air freight available when you need something quickly.
Relocating abroad is a major move, whether you are doing so for a new job, to be closer to family, or for a different lifestyle. At Removals.co.uk, we understand the challenges of moving abroad, and we want to make it easier so you can enjoy the transition without hassle while focusing on establishing a new life in Greece with peace of mind.
Our experts will handle everything, from packing and clearly labelling boxes to carefully handling your furniture and delivering it safely to your new address in Greece.
Over time, we’ve moved many families and individuals internationally, so we have extensive experience and are an established name in removals to Greece.

What should I know before moving to Greece?
Two things to settle early. Your documentation depends on how long you are staying and why, so check the current requirements for UK nationals before you book. Your customs paperwork must show the goods are used personal effects and have been owned for at least six months, which is what duty-free entry rests on.
Before starting your move, there are some important things to be aware of:
Documentation
For UK nationals, the required documentation varies depending on how long you will be in Greece and your reason for going. You will want to review the most recent immigration advice and guidance from the authorities.
Cost of Living
Generally, the cost of living in Greece is relatively low compared to the UK. Although major cities like Athens or Thessaloniki may be slightly more expensive, they will still be affordable by UK standards.
Weather
Greece benefits from a warm climate with hot summers and mild winters. You will certainly need to update your wardrobe.
Health Care
Greece has both public and private health systems. If you are settling long-term, be sure you enter the country with adequate health insurance.
Should I ship to Greece by road, sea or air?
Three routes to Greece. Air freight is the fastest and suits time-sensitive or high-value items, though it costs more and is priced by weight. Road freight is the usual choice for mainland household shipments. Sea freight is the economical option for heavy loads and island destinations.
At Removals.co.uk, we provide numerous shipping methods to accommodate your relocation requirements:
Air Freight
When time is of the essence, air freight is the best way for you to move from the UK to Greece. It is the fastest way to move goods internationally and is especially useful for time-sensitive items, high-value belongings, or small moves that require quick delivery. Whether you are moving documents, electronics, or personal possessions, air freight offers quick, reliable service.
Air freight is more expensive than sea or road transport because of its speed and fuel costs, but it offers significant advantages. These include faster delivery, less handling, and fewer chances of delays. It can be completed in just a few days, compared with the weeks required for sea shipping.
Road Freight
If you’re moving many items or an entire home, road freight is the most cost-effective and most financially sensible way to ship from the UK to Greece. Good road connections across Europe make it easy to transfer your load.
We provide two primary options, which include:
Shared Load – If you’re moving a small or medium-sized load, then this is ideal for you. Your belongings will share space with other customers’ belongings, and you will only pay for the space that you use.
Dedicated Load – If you are moving a full home or you need or wish to control your timing, this option is best for you. Your dedicated load means the whole truck is reserved for your belongings, offering more flexibility and privacy.
Sea Freight
Sea freight is the most economical option for larger international moves and is intended for long-term removals to Greece. If you’re moving a full household, including large furniture and appliances, this is a great value. Sea freight takes longer but suits people who plan.
You can choose:
Shared Container – The option for small, international moves. Your items are loaded into a 20ft or 40ft container and travel securely with other shipments. You pay for the space your items occupy, which is a budget-friendly option.
Dedicated Container – The option for larger homes. You get a full container, with better privacy, security, and control over loading and scheduling.

Removals to Greece: frequently asked questions
Do I pay duty on my belongings?
Usually no. Under the EU transfer of residence relief, you need 12 continuous months living outside the EU, items owned and used for at least 6 months before you left, and imported within 12 months of establishing residence. Alcohol, tobacco and commercial vehicles are excluded.
What documents do I need?
A valid passport for each family member, proof of residence in Greece such as a rental agreement, utility bill or title deed and possibly registration with your local municipality, proof of departure from the UK, a signed itemised inventory in English or Greek with approximate values, a certificate of change of residence, and an EORI number for the customs declaration.
Should I use road, sea or air freight?
Air freight is the fastest and suits time-sensitive items, high-value belongings or a small move, though it costs more. Sea and road freight are the economical options for a full household. Your coordinator will recommend the option that fits your timing and budget.
Which parts of Greece do you deliver to?
We deliver everywhere, from Athens, Thessaloniki, Patras and Piraeus to Larissa, Volos, Heraklion, Kalamata, Rhodes and smaller towns. Delivery is direct to your new address.
What is included in the price?
A dedicated move coordinator, high-quality packing materials, full assistance with Greek customs regulations and paperwork, freight charges, terminal fees, relocation costs, insurance, and delivery to your new home.
Does the inventory have to show the goods are used?
Yes. Greek customs require that goods be used and owned for at least six months and used only for personal use, and your inventory must state that, which is why it is itemised and valued rather than a box count.
