Payment
Conventional payment
Toll fees are regulated by toll stations. Payment at these stations can be made in cash or by card. If you prefer to pay in cash, ensure you carry the exact amount to avoid issues with getting change back.
Credit card payments should be possible in most cases. However, we recommend carrying the exact amount in cash as a precaution.
Electronic payment
As an alternative, it is possible in Greece to carry a transponder in your vehicle. With the transponder, you can reserve a special lane and pay the toll fee in advance. The on-board unit system operates via GPS. Electronic payment via transponder is valid for all motorway operators in Greece
