The E65 in Greece currently runs from Niki in the north to Chania in the south, via Vevi, Kozani, Larissa, Domokos, Lamia, Bralos, Itea, Antirrio, Rio, Aigio, Corinth, Tripoli, Kalamata and Kissamos: the section between Kalamata and Kissamos is a ferry.[1]
In relation to the national road network, the E65 currently follows (in order, from north to south):[2]
- The EO3 road, around the Niki border station
- The A27 motorway, from Niki to Kozani
- The EO3 road, from Kozani to Lamia
- The EO1 road, from Lamia to Roditsa
- The A1 motorway, from Roditsa to Bralos
- The EO27 road, from Bralos to Amfissa
- The EO48 road, from Amfissa to Chrisso, and from Nafpaktos to Antirrio
- The A5 motorway, from Antirrio to Rio
- The A8 motorway, from Rio to Corinth
- The A7 motorway, from Corinth to Kalamata
- The EO82 road, within Kalamata
- The A90 motorway and EO90 road, from Kissamos to Chania
The E65 runs concurrently with the E55 on the Rio–Antirrio Bridge and part of the A7 between Oichalia and Kalamata, the E75 on the A1 segment, and the E86 on part of the A27 between Florina and Levaia. The E65 also connects with the E75 at Chania, the E90 at Kozani, the E92 at Larissa, the E94 at Corinth, the E952 at Lamia, and the E961 at Tripoli.[1]
Planned changes
[edit]In Greece, the E65 will be rerouted between Kozani and Lamia when the A3 motorway is completed: the revised route will follow the A2 motorway (Egnatia Odos) towards Kipoureio, and then the A3 itself towards Anthili via Trikala.[3]
Notes
[edit]- ^ The route between Montenegro and Kosovo is unclear, a problem currently shared with E80 which is concurrent with E65 on this section. The existing M-2 road that goes through Bijelo Polje continues northwards through western Serbia as E763, away from the direction of Pristina. Instead the route needs to turn to the east some 4 km (2.5 mi) before Bijelo Polje, at Ribarevina junction, and towards Priština. After that, the route goes southeast, throrugh Berane and Rožaje, where the route winds slightly northwards again, goes through western Serbia near Tutin, and then enters Kosovo near Zubin Potok.
