Trivia

  • Euro Truck Simulator 2: Greece was the first Euro Truck Simulator 2 map expansion to only feature a single country that was not included in a previous map expansion or the base game.
  • At the time of the release of the Greece map expansion, its European Union neighbor Bulgaria was not yet part of the Schengen Area, resulting in border crossings being placed along their shared. However, Bulgaria was accepted into the Schengen Area in 2025, and all border controls were lifted, but it is unknown if the border crossings depicted in-game will be removed in a future update.
