The E90 in Greece currently runs from Igoumenitsa in the west to Kipoi in the east, via Ioannina, Kozani, Thessaloniki and Alexandroupolis: the eastern end of the E90 in Greece leads to Turkey.[1]

In relation to the national road network, the E90 currently follows the A2 motorway (Egnatia Odos) for the entire duration.[2] The Egnatia Odos was named after Via Egnatia, a Roman-era trail from the Adriatic to the Aegean that was built by Macedonian proconsul Gnaeus Egnatius: the Roman road was later extended to Byzantium (Constantinople) to the east and Rome to the west.[3]

The E90 runs concurrently with the E75 between Kleidi [el] and Kalochori (via Chalastra), the E79 between Lagkadas and Efkarpia, and the E92 between Igoumenitsa and Panagia [el]. The E90 also connects with the E55 at Igoumenitsa, the E65 at Kozani, the E85 north of Ardani [el], the E853 at Ioannina, and the E951 at Pedini (southwest of Ioannina).[1]
