Logistics Solutions: Turkey ↔ Greece

Road Transport from Istanbul to Greece

ERSA Logistics organizes daily trips for export and import shipments to Greece, our border neighbor and gateway to the European Union. In the road transport we carry out via the Ipsala Border Crossing, we safely deliver your cargo to all regions of the neighboring country, especially Athens and Thessaloniki.

Thanks to our operations team, which is well-versed in the high volume of commercial traffic between the two countries, and our rapid processing capability at border customs, we deliver your cargo with minimum waiting time.

Customs and Border Information

In our Greece operations, border crossings and customs processes work as follows:

Border Crossings: Our vehicles use the Ipsala Border Crossing when exiting Turkey and the Kipi customs gate when entering Greece. Depending on traffic density, the Pazarkule line is also evaluated as an alternative.

Customs Clearance: For shipments to Greece, an EU member, we ensure full compliance with T1/T2 transit regimes and customs regulations.
