Moving to Greece
Moving from the UK to Greece requires careful planning, particularly when arranging the transport and customs clearance of your furniture and personal belongings. ClickMoves provides reliable and cost-effective UK to Greece removals for shipments ranging from a few boxes and pieces of furniture to the contents of a complete home.
We can arrange collection throughout the UK, transport to Greece and delivery to your new address. Whether you are relocating for work, moving with your family, retiring to Greece or buying a home there, we can help you choose a moving service that suits the size of your shipment, your destination and your budget.
Removal services from the UK to Greece
ClickMoves offers flexible removal services for customers moving household goods and personal effects from the UK to Greece.
For smaller moves, a shared or groupage service is normally the most economical option. Your belongings travel alongside other customers’ shipments heading in the same direction, allowing the transport costs to be shared.
For larger household moves, we can arrange a dedicated removal service, providing greater flexibility over collection and delivery schedules.
Professional packing can also be arranged when required for furniture, fragile belongings and other household goods.
Groupage removals to Greece
Our groupage service is particularly suitable for customers moving a smaller quantity of furniture and personal belongings.
Your shipment is collected in the UK and consolidated with other customers’ goods travelling towards Greece. You pay according to the volume of your shipment rather than for an entire vehicle.
This makes groupage a cost-effective option for smaller household moves, boxes, personal effects and individual pieces of furniture. Because several customers’ shipments travel together, collection and delivery schedules can be less flexible than with a dedicated service.
Dedicated removals to Greece
If you are moving the contents of a larger home, a dedicated removal service may be more appropriate.
A vehicle can be allocated specifically to your move, providing greater flexibility over collection, transport and delivery arrangements. This can be particularly useful for larger shipments or customers working to a tighter moving schedule.
We will recommend the most suitable transport option once we know the approximate volume of your belongings, collection address and destination in Greece.
Customs when moving to Greece
Since the UK left the European Union, household goods and personal effects moving from the UK to Greece are subject to customs formalities.
The documentation and customs procedure will depend on your circumstances and the goods being transported. Customers will normally need to provide a detailed inventory or packing list, identification and the appropriate customs documentation.
People transferring their normal residence from the UK to Greece may qualify for relief from customs duties and taxes on eligible personal belongings, subject to the applicable conditions and supporting documentation.
Certain goods may be restricted or subject to additional requirements. ClickMoves and our moving partners will explain the documentation required before your shipment is transported.
Customs regulations can change, so the current requirements will always need to be confirmed when your move is being arranged.
Collection throughout the UK and delivery in Greece
ClickMoves can arrange collection throughout England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland.
We can collect from residential addresses, businesses and storage facilities. Professional packing can also be arranged for furniture, fragile belongings and other household goods requiring additional protection during transport.
Delivery can be arranged to Athens, Thessaloniki and many other destinations throughout mainland Greece.
We can also arrange services to many Greek islands, including destinations such as Crete, Corfu and Rhodes. Island deliveries can involve additional ferry transport and handling, so the precise arrangements and transit times will depend on your destination.
How long do removals from the UK to Greece take?
Transit times vary according to the removal service, collection and delivery locations, transport schedules and customs clearance.
Groupage shipments generally take longer because several customers’ consignments are consolidated together and the vehicle may make multiple collections and deliveries.
Dedicated removals can usually be scheduled more directly. Deliveries to Greek islands may take additional time because onward ferry transport may be required.
When preparing your quotation, we will provide an estimated transit time based on your chosen service and destination.
