Greek National Road 6 (Greek: Εθνική Οδός 6, abbreviated as EO6) is a single carriageway road in north-central Greece. It begins at the port of Igoumenitsa and ends at Volos, passing through the towns Ioannina, Metsovo, Trikala and Larissa. The section between Metsovo and Volos is part of the European route E92. It has junctions with the GR-18, GR-5, GR-20, GR-15, GR-3 and GR-30, and also with the A2 (Egnatia Odos) and A1 motorways. The road runs through five regional units (Thesprotia, Ioannina, Trikala, Larissa and Magnesia) and the regions of Epirus and Thessaly.
The route begins in Igoumenitsa. It passes north of Ioannina and its lake, near Perama. It crosses the Pindus mountains, passing through Metsovo. It runs through Kalampaka and bypasses Trikala. It then passes into the plain and runs through Larissa. Between the southeast of Larissa and Velestino, it has been replaced by the A1 motorway. From Velestino it continues east and it ends at the Aegean port of Volos.
The new Egnatia Odos motorway offers a faster connection between Igoumenitsa, Ioannina and Metsovo.
