The road toll system in Greece is one of the most fragmented in Europe. You will not find a single national vignette or a uniform kilometer-based tax. Greek motorways are managed by independent concessionaires (including Attiki Odos, Egnatia Odos, Nea Odos, and Olympia Odos), each with its own toll stations (known as frontal and ramp gates).
The year 2026 has brought inflation-linked rate adjustments that came into effect on January 1, driving up transit costs for key corridors. Below you will find a precise breakdown of tolls for heavy goods vehicles (HGVs).
HGV Classification in Greece
Most Greek concessionaires apply a uniform 4-level vehicle classification. For heavy transport, two categories are essential:
- Category 3: Vehicles with a height over 2.20 m and 2 or 3 axles (e.g., rigid trucks, smaller HGVs).
- Category 4: Vehicles with a height over 2.20 m and 4 or more axles (classic tractor-trailer combinations). Exception: The Athens Ring Road (Attiki Odos) uses its own 6-level classification, where standard tractor-trailers fall into Category 6.
1. Attiki Odos (A6 - Athens Ring Road)
Attiki Odos gates operate on an open system—you pay a single fixed fee when entering the motorway, regardless of how many kilometers you travel. As of January 1, 2026, the rates have increased.
| Attiki Odos Classification | Vehicle Type | Toll (EUR) |
|---|---|---|
| Category 5 | 2 and 3-axle trucks (total height > 2.70 m) | 6.30 € |
| Category 6 | 4-axle trucks and larger (total height > 2.70 m) | 10.10 € |
2. Nea Odos & Ionia Odos (Antirrio - Ioannina Corridor)
One of the most important routes in western Greece. Tolls are paid at the main frontal toll stations crossing the route.
| Main Toll Station (Frontal Toll) | Category 3 (2-3 axles) | Category 4 (≥4 axles) |
|---|---|---|
| Klokova | 8.90 € | 12.50 € |
| Angelokastro | 10.50 € | 14.70 € |
| Menidi | 8.95 € | 12.50 € |
| Terovo | 9.25 € | 12.95 € |
3. Olympia Odos (Elefsina - Patras Corridor)
A route connecting Athens with the west coast and ports on the Ionian Sea. Tolls are paid at several gates along the route. For example, the toll at the first major exit gate near Athens:
| Main Toll Station (Frontal Toll) | Category 3 (2-3 axles) | Category 4 (≥4 axles) |
|---|---|---|
| Elefsina (Eleusis) | 6.30 € | 8.90 € |
4. Egnatia Odos (A2 - Igoumenitsa - Kipoi Corridor)
The longest motorway crossing all of northern Greece (from the Turkish border to the Ionian coast). It features over a dozen toll gates. Below are the precise rates for selected key gates on the eastern section of the route:
| Main Toll Station (Frontal Toll) | Category 3 (2-3 axles) | Category 4 (≥4 axles) |
|---|---|---|
| Iasmos | 5.70 € | 8.00 € |
| Mesti | 6.80 € | 9.65 € |
| Ardanio | 5.00 € | 7.00 € |
5. Special Structures: Bridges and Tunnels (2026 Tariff)
In addition to motorway tolls, Greece has engineering structures that require a high one-time payment.
Rio-Antirrio Bridge (Charilaos Trikoupis Bridge)
A key crossing connecting the Peloponnese with mainland Greece. It has a strictly enforced and expensive price list for heavy transport:
| Vehicle Category | Toll Fee |
|---|---|
| 2-axle trucks | 24.70 € |
| 3-axle trucks | 40.10 € |
| 4-axle trucks and larger | 50.90 € |
Aktio-Preveza Tunnel
An underwater tunnel providing a shortcut along the west coast:
| Category | Toll Fee |
|---|---|
| Category 3 (2-3 axles) | 5.00 € |
| Category 4 (4 axles and more) | 8.00 € |
GRITS: How to Pay More Efficiently? (Interoperability)
Since 2020, Greece has operated the GRITS (Greek Interoperable Tolling Systems). This means that regardless of which concessionaire you sign an agreement with (by obtaining an on-board unit such as Attiki Odos’s e-Pass, Aegean Motorway’s eway, or O-pass), a single OBU device opens electronic gates throughout all of Greece.
This allows for passage through “fast lanes” without needing to stop and pay at each gate with cash or a card, saving significant time on routes with many gates like Egnatia Odos.
Discover Our Route Calculator
You now know the precise rates at key gates and that crossing the Rio-Antirrio Bridge will cost nearly 51 euros, but how do you calculate the total cost of travel from Igoumenitsa to Athens through a maze of over a dozen independent toll stations? Our calculator does it for you.
Why is it worth it?
- Down-to-the-cent precision: Our calculator automatically calculates road tolls, taking into account unique regulations for each country—including the complex gate systems in Greece, axle count, and vehicle set height.
- The choice is yours: The system proposes several alternative routes. You decide whether you prefer to travel faster on motorways or look for optimizations, seeing the differences in travel time and final toll costs clearly.
- Your fleet at your fingertips: You can save your vehicles in the system. This way, you don’t have to enter parameters every time—just select a specific truck, and the calculator adjusts the rates to its specification.
- Real-time cost optimization: By seeing the total toll cost before sending a vehicle to the Balkans, you can better price the freight and avoid orders that are simply unprofitable at current rates.
