Greece: Coastal and Islands Cities + Ports and Ferries

Our upcoming Greece DLC for Euro Truck Simulator 2 will feature both coastal cities and islands, and today we're excited to share a preview of some of them with you! From popular tourist destinations to key economic centres, you'll find a variety of industries, natural gems, and landmarks along the way.

With numerous islands surrounding the Greek mainland, ports and ferries are essential for transportation, especially for moving goods by truck. This DLC brings this vital network to life with new, larger, and more realistic ferry models, as well as meticulously detailed ports.

Let's take a closer look at some of the cities you'll be able to visit and deliver to on your travels in Greece.

Kalamata

Situated on the sun-soaked Peloponnese and famous worldwide for its olives, Kalamata offers visitors a perfect blend of history, stunning coastal scenery, landmarks and vibrant local culture. With its lively waterfront and charming old town, truckers will have a hard time leaving! We hope you agree with us when we say our team has beautifully recreated this area, including its narrow streets and architecture.

Kalamata is also home to a variety of industries, including the marina, olive farms, and the supermarket, offering plenty of delivery destinations and job contracts for truckers. Drivers can also take advantage of the ferry connection to travel onward to Crete, one of the largest and most populous Greek islands.

Kavala

Founded in the seventh century BC, Kavala was chosen by settlers for its strategic coastal position at the crossroads of Europe and Asia. Today, Kavala remains an important economic centre of Northern Greece. Among other industries, you'll find ones unique to the area, including a Marble processing plant, which Kavala is famous for producing.

While Kavala may not be the largest city, it is certainly picturesque! Built on a hillside, the city's most prominent feature is the Kavala Fortress, also known as the Acropolis of Kavala, which overlooks the city and harbour and has been beautifully recreated in this DLC. Drivers can also take a ferry from here to several islands in the northern Aegean Sea!

Mytilene

As one of Greece's oldest cities, dating back to ancient times, Mytilene is rich in history, from its scenic coastline to its unique architecture and historical landmarks such as the Fortress of Mytilene. As one the largest castles in the Mediterranean, this incredible landmark covers an area of 60 acres!

Argostoli

Located in the Ionian Sea, Argostoli is the capital of Kefalonia Island. Whilst it is not the biggest city, with just a population of 10,000 residents, it is rich in beauty and history! On this island, you'll find a variety of industries, as well as landmarks like the De Bosset Bridge, which is the largest stone bridge in seawater and has existed since 1813.

On the Island of Kefalonia, you'll also find the town of Lixouri, which has become an increasingly popular spot for visitors who are looking to get away from the more popular destinations. We hope you take the time to check out this area when passing through!

Chios

This is a city you might already be familiar with! As featured in our recent Greece - Gameplay Preview video on our official YouTube channel, Chios offers a charming blend of
