Highways in Greece
are generally organized so that the odd numbered highways are of north-south alignment and even numbered highways are aligned east-west. However there are many exceptions.
The designation of some important roads of Greece as "national" was decided by a 1955 decree. A minister's decision of 1963 determined the numbering of these roads. In 1998 a survey of the National Statistic Authority of Greece defined some new national roads that were constructed after the 1963 decision. Motorway numbers are different and irrelevant to other highways' numbers. For example, Motorway 6 refers to Attiki Odos
, while "GR-6" refers to a different road.
Major routes:
Other routes:
Note: when certain highways that carry European routes are replaced with motorways, the European routes will be re-assigned to the new motorways. For example, GR-7 carries the E65
from Tripoli to Kalamata. When the Corinth
– Tripoli
– Kalamata
motorway is complete, E65
will run through it and not through GR-7 anymore.
