It might be worth looking at a 20ft shipping container ? It’s an easy thing to sort UK to Greece possibly less easy to deal with it in Greek ? You could contact a UK based company who would arrange the collection ? We got a couple of hours to load and unload, the volume of the container should easil...

Thanks very much to you all for your contacts, regrettably they are not turning out be offering anything over and above Intasure, the quotes are not offering any incentive to move our business.
Have a great Summer everyone.

Good afternoon Patterson, I can thoroughly recommend a guy from the rethemnon area who is a well known musician on the island but at the end of the season makes a trip to the UK. He is arriving with our stuff 6th / 7th of November so the timing is good for you. His contact details are as follows Mob...

Thanks in advance

With respect to the contributors above I have a similar old story, 10 years ago a €12k bill for an old BMW worth €2k it was also an old car. I have a much more modern version, 4 years ago whereby a newer car was issued red plates, these were issued to Greeks importing cars for personal use, it meant...

Hi guys, I took my plate off a damaged bike I have and handed it in at the tax office, I was told then that in 2016 they did implement a road tax reduction dependant on when you claimed the plates back... June = 50% annual figure, makes a much better case for handing them in, no excess paperwork eit...

Bit of a long shot, but trying to make some plans for bringing a couple of big items over from the UK in Feb 2015 and, having done this before, wondered whether anyone perhaps with animals and an amount of personal stuff would be interested in a van share. I buy it and bring it one way, you buy it f...
