Service Information

Athens is the capital of Greece and is its largest city. And it is here where our partner’s headquarters is based. Greece has been through the mill in recent years, and the general mood has been one of ‘crisis – crisis’. However, our Greek partners are determined to shrug this off and are actively working closely with us to develop our road freight transport services to and from Athens and Thessalonica.

Our freight service to and from Athens

Despite the financial difficulties associated with the Greek market, we have worked tirelessly with our partners to ensure that our service not only remained stable, but continued to grow. Being able to open up the carriage of dangerous goods, which we couldn’t before, has greatly assisted this growth.

This does present its own difficulties though, in that in many cases the ferry route through Italy is primarily tourist based, so there are some restrictions on dangerous goods. The alternative of driving through Eastern Europe arrives a day later, but still in line with our competitors. We use both options to maximise service vs. transit time.

From Athens, we can also provide freight services to the Greek Islands such as Crete, Rhodes, Corfu and Kos, to name a few.

And moreover, our partners also provide a service to Cyprus, served from the freight terminal in Lavrios, just outside the main sea port of Piraeus.

Proactive, flexible & transparent

ITAL logistics support our business through European Outbound and Reverse Logistics to support a number of our clients, especially on multiple palletised loads and also non standard palletised consignments. There have also been times where we have asked them to respond to short lead times for important collections of engineering palletised consignments, with a recent collection from Poland being completed in under 12 hours from the request being placed !!!

With every request, the staff are proactive, flexible, transparent and provided a high level of feedback and communication. Their staff are informative, pleasant and knowledgeable and a pleasure to speak with. We are pleased and acknowledge the value added service offering that ITAL Logistics provide to our clients and will continue to support their business.
