European Route E75

European Route E75

European route E 75 is part of the International E-road network, which is a series of main roads in Europe.

The E 75 starts from Vardø, Norway in the Barents Sea and runs south through Finland, Poland, Czech Republic, Slovakia, Hungary, Serbia and Republic of Macedonia to Sitia, Greece on the island of Crete in the Mediterranean Sea.

From the beginning of the 1990s until 2009, there was not a ferry connection between Helsinki and Gdańsk. However, Finnlines started a regular service between Helsinki and Gdynia. It is also possible to take a ferry from Helsinki to Tallinn and drive through E67 from Tallinn to Piotrków Trybunalski in Poland and continue with E75.

The European Agency for Reconstruction, one of the Agencies of the European Union, has contributed to the reconstruction of the E 75 in the Republic of Macedonia.
