But international moving to Greece takes more than just a love of the place. It needs a partner like Elite Moving.

Step-by-Step Guide: Preparing for Your Removals to Greece
Embarking on removals to Greece? Follow this checklist to streamline your move.
Research and Planning (4-6 Weeks Out)
Check what you own: Clear out to cut the load. Sell or give things away on eBay or to local charities.
Book early: Secure Greece relocation services in quiet months for deals.
Gather papers: Passport, residence permit, AFM (Greek tax ID) and proof you live in the UK (bills or statements).
Packing Like a Pro
Use Elite Moving’s supplies: Bubble wrap for antiques and wardrobe boxes for clothes.
Label clearly: “Fragile – Athens Kitchen” makes unpacking much faster.
Banned Items: Don’t ship fresh food, plants or weapons. Check the EU rules first.
Choosing Your Transport Method
Road/Ferry: Ideal for removals to Athens or the Peloponnese. It’s fast and door to door.
Sea Freight: Budget-friendly for large loads to islands, but 4-6 weeks transit.
Air Freight: For urgent international moving to Greece (such as valuables). It costs more but takes 3-5 days.
Elite Moving is great at mixed options, so your piano reaches Santorini in one piece.
Customs and Delivery
We file online customs forms for a smooth clearance. There are no duties on used goods if you have owned them for 6+ months.
Track your things live on our app, for peace of mind from the UK to your Greek front door.
Destination Spotlight: Tailored Removals to Key Greek Spots
Greece is very varied, so where you go matters. Elite Moving adapts to:
Athens & Mainland: Quick city moves, with easy access through ports like Piraeus. Focus: office moves for people from abroad.
Ionian Islands (Corfu, Zakynthos): We know the ferries well, and we use small vans on the steep roads.
Crete & Aegean: Weekly ships to Chania and Heraklion; pets too.
Cyclades (Mykonos, Santorini): Quiet, safe care for costly items.
Fun Fact: Many of our removals to Greek islands are for people who have retired and want to settle there. We help with the papers they need to live there.

Removals to Greece: Common Questions
Can my pets travel in the removal lorry to Greece?
No. Pets cannot ride in a removal lorry, as it is not safe for them. Dogs and cats need a microchip, a rabies jab and an animal health certificate from your vet, and they travel with you or with a pet transport firm. Speak to your vet early. We can time the delivery of your things to fit your pet's travel plans.
How do you deliver to the Greek islands as well as Athens?
Most loads travel by road across Europe and then take a ferry from Italy to mainland Greece. For the islands, there is one more ferry from a Greek port. Island moves take longer and need careful booking, so tell us your exact address early. We plan the crossings and let you know when to expect your things.
Is a move to a Greek holiday home treated the same as moving there for good?
Not always. Duty relief on used household goods usually depends on making Greece your main home. If you are only furnishing a holiday home, the customs rules can be different. Tell us how you plan to use the property when you ask for a quote. We check the current rules for you and help you get the right papers ready.
Can you lift furniture up to the balcony of an Athens flat?
Yes. Most people in Athens live in apartment blocks with narrow stairs and very small lifts. Sofas and wardrobes often will not fit inside. In Greek cities it is common to raise large pieces up to the balcony with a ladder lift. We arrange this ahead of time and check the current rules for you on using the street.
What customs forms does a post-Brexit move to Greece need?
Greece is in the EU, so goods leaving the UK now need customs clearance. If you are making Greece your main home, your own used goods are often free of duty. Have an inventory, ID and proof of your new address ready, such as a rental contract. We check the current rules for you and prepare the papers before your load leaves.

It was an excellent experience. Vijithan was from day 1, when we had the first contact, incredibly efficient in responding to all my requests. He organized not only the removal and the disposal of items I wanted to get rid off, he also organized an excellent cleaning service.
His team was very careful in the handling of my furniture when loading my household in Zürich, Switzerland. Three days later it was delivered to Lewes, UK, unloaded with the same care.
I am fully satisfied with everything: Very nice team, very efficient, very careful and quick in every respect. And above all: a competitive price.
