A2: Igoumenitsa – Ioannina – Kozani – Veria – Thessaloniki – Kavala – Komotini – Alexandroupolis – Kipoi (border with Turkey)
The E90 in Greece currently runs from Igoumenitsa in the west to Kipoi in the east, via Ioannina, Kozani, Thessaloniki and Alexandroupolis: the eastern end of the E90 in Greece leads to Turkey.[1]
In relation to the national road network, the E90 currently follows the A2 motorway (Egnatia Odos) for the entire duration.[2] The Egnatia Odos was named after Via Egnatia, a Roman-era trail from the Adriatic to the Aegean that was built by Macedonian proconsul Gnaeus Egnatius: the Roman road was later extended to Byzantium (Constantinople) to the east and Rome to the west.[3]
The E90 runs concurrently with the E75 between Kleidi and Kalochori (via Chalastra), the E79 between Lagkadas and Efkarpia, and the E92 between Igoumenitsa and Panagia. The E90 also connects with the E55 at Igoumenitsa, the E65 at Kozani, the E85 north of Ardani, the E853 at Ioannina, and the E951 at Pedini (southwest of Ioannina).[1]
