International Movers to or from Greece
Shipping Household Goods, Personal Effects, Furniture & Office Relocation to or from Greece
Moving home or relocating your office to Greece should feel exciting, not stressful. At Movers BS International Movers, we handle the full process of international moving to/from Greece—packing, pickup, export handling, sea freight / air freight, customs clearance, delivery, and even unpacking if you want it.
Greece has its own rhythm—morning coffees, busy city streets in Athens, island schedules, narrow lanes in older areas, and apartment buildings with limited access. So, in the second step of your move, we plan the “local reality”: parking permissions, elevator bookings, island connections (if needed), and delivery timing so your shipment arrives smoothly and not in chaos.

Door to Door Air, Sea and Land Freight Options To/From Greece
1) Sea Freight (Most Popular)
Sea freight is best for household moves because it’s cost-effective for volume:
- FCL (Full Container Load): 20ft or 40ft container
- LCL (Less than Container Load): groupage/shared container
2) Air Freight (Fastest)
Air freight suits urgent shipments like:
- A few cartons
- Essential personal items
- Time-sensitive office items
3) Land Freight (Limited use for Greece routes)
Land freight may apply for intra-Europe moves or combined multimodal shipping, depending on the origin/destination.
Sea Freight vs Air Freight for Greece
Here’s a quick comparison:
| Factor | Sea Freight to/from Greece | Air Freight to/from Greece |
| Best for | Household goods, furniture, big volume | Small urgent shipments |
| Cost | Lower per kg / per cubic meter | Higher |
| Transit time | Longer | Shorter |
| Handling | Multiple touches | Typically fewer touches |
| Common choice | FCL/LCL containers | Boxes + essentials |
Simple rule: If it’s a full home move, sea freight wins. If you need items quickly, air freight is worth it.
Insurance Coverage for International Moves
International transit has risks—humidity, handling, port movement, road delivery, and unexpected delays. That’s why we recommend insurance coverage for international moves to/from Greece, especially for:
- High-value furniture
- Electronics (where allowed)
- Fragile goods
- Artwork, antiques, instruments
We guide you on coverage type (basic vs comprehensive) and help prepare the inventory values properly.
