Packing That Protects: Materials and Methods
Great packing saves time and money, and it keeps your treasures intact on winding coastal roads and island ferries. Use this section as your step by step blueprint.
Your packing game plan
- Audit and measure. List everything by room. Measure sofas, wardrobes, and tables. Note items that need disassembly.
- Stage zones. Create a clean packing area with blankets, tape, and tools. Protect floors and door frames before you begin.
- Build strong bases. Cross tape the bottom of every box. Add a paper cushion layer so weight sits evenly.
- Heaviest on the bottom. Books, plates, and tins go low. Lighter items ride on top with voids filled.
- Seal and label. Close seams tightly. Label two sides and the top with room, contents, and fragility.
Pro grade materials we recommend
- Double wall cartons, dish barrels, and picture boxes
- Wardrobe cartons to move clothing crease free
- Bubble wrap, foam sheets, and kraft paper for clean wrapping
- Corner guards for glass, mirrors, and framed art
- Stretch film to bundle doors and drawers safely
- Mattress and sofa covers to block dust and moisture
- Zip bags for screws and small parts, taped to the furniture piece
- Silica gel packs for long routes and humid climates
Learn more or book packing help: https://vanonsite.com/packing-services/
Advanced techniques for fragile items
- Plates and bowls stand on edge, not flat, with paper between each piece.
- Glasses get a paper sleeve, then bubble wrap. Fill the stem cavity with tissue.
- TVs and monitors travel in original boxes if available. Otherwise use a TV carton with foam spacers.
- Marble and glass tops are wrapped, then crated. Mark orientation arrows on the crate.
- Lamps and shades go in separate boxes. Shade faces a protective paper dome, never bubble wrap directly on fabric.
Island proofing and heat awareness
Greece can be hot. Ferries can sway. Pack with movement and temperature in mind.
- Add extra void fill to stop internal shifting.
- Avoid packing candles, liquids, and aerosols. They can melt or leak.
- Keep musical instruments and art away from direct heat sources in the vehicle.
Do not pack list
- Perishables and open food
- Flammables, paints, and solvents
- Pressurised containers
- Cash, jewellery, passports, and critical documents (carry these with you)
Label like a pro
| Code | Meaning | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| FRAG | Fragile contents | Handle high, avoid stacking |
| TOP | This side up | Arrows on all four sides |
| ROOM‑KITCHEN | Destination room | Use the exact room name used on your inventory |
| SET‑A | Part of a set | Note piece numbers, for example 1 of 3 |
Simple packing checklist
- Double wall boxes in mixed sizes
- Wardrobe cartons for hanging clothes
- Dish barrels and picture cartons
- Bubble wrap, foam sheets, kraft paper, corner protectors
- Mattress covers and sofa wraps
- Stretch wrap and moving blankets
- Tape, marker pens, zip bags, inventory sheets
- Silica gel packs for long or humid routes




Documentation and Practicalities
Greece is in the EU, which simplifies many moves. Requirements vary by nationality and personal status, so always verify the latest rules before you travel. Use official sources for the final word.
Helpful official resources:
- Greece general government portal: https://www.gov.gr/
- United Kingdom guidance: https://www.gov.uk/
- Ireland government services: https://www.gov.ie/
Who needs what
- EU citizens. Usually move with a valid ID or passport. Check residence registration requirements with your local KEP service via gov.gr.
- UK citizens. Post Brexit rules may require visas or residence permits. Start with the official guidance on gov.uk and confirm residence steps with gov.gr.
- Irish citizens. As EU citizens, follow standard EU movement rules. Confirm any local registrations on gov.gr and service portals on gov.ie.
Common documents you may be asked for
- Valid passport or national ID
- Proof of residence or tenancy agreement in Greece
- Inventory list of moved goods with values for insurance
- Insurance confirmation and policy number
- School or employment letters if relevant
Parking and building access
- Secure a temporary parking permit if your street is restricted.
- Reserve lifts and loading bays in advance. Share times with our team.
- Tell us about stair counts, tight turns, or low ceilings so we can plan the right crew.
Timeline checklist
- 60 to 30 days. Gather IDs, tenancy or purchase contracts, school and medical records.
- 30 to 14 days. Book permits, notify building managers, and transfer utilities if applicable.
- 7 days. Print copies of your inventory and insurance. Pack a personal essentials bag.
- Move day. Keep documents with you. Do a final walkthrough and meter photos.
- On arrival. Confirm placement, note any access rules, and keep receipts for records.
When in doubt, check the current rules on the official portals above. If you need advice, our team will point you to the correct authority page for your situation.
Route Planning and Transit Times
Your transit time depends on origin, route, ferry availability, and the delivery window you choose. Plan the corridor first, then lock the ferry or border timings.
Main corridors at a glance
- Road via Italy. UK or Ireland to France and Italy, then ferry from Ancona, Bari, or Brindisi to Patras. Continue by road to Athens or the Peloponnese.
- Road via Balkans. Central Europe through Slovenia, Croatia, Serbia, North Macedonia into Thessaloniki or Athens. Good when ferries are tight.
- Hybrid for islands. Mainland road to Athens or Thessaloniki, then domestic ferry to Crete, Rhodes, Corfu, or the Cyclades.
Road only vs road plus ferry
- Road only can be faster on off peak weeks with flexible delivery windows.
- Road plus ferry reduces mileage and driver hours, helpful for island deliveries and summer traffic.
Seasonality and buffers
- Peak months are late June to early September and the Easter period. Add 1 to 3 days of buffer for ferries and traffic.
- August in Italy can affect ferry capacity. Book earlier and keep dates flexible when possible.
Island quick guide
- Crete. Ferries to Heraklion or Chania. Allow extra time for cross island road legs.
- Rhodes. Longer sea leg. Plan for port handling slots and narrow streets in old town zones.
- Corfu. Efficient mainland links via Igoumenitsa. Good option for part load deliveries.
- Cyclades. Smaller ports and tight lanes. Consider shuttle vehicles for last mile to traditional village centers.
Ferry essentials
- Name on the booking must match the ID. Height and length limits apply to vehicles. We handle the booking and compliance.
- Weather or industrial action can change schedules. We monitor updates and reroute when needed.
Typical transit windows
These are planning windows, not guarantees. Your final schedule reflects your access, volume, and service choice.
| Corridor | Example origin | Typical window |
|---|---|---|
| Road via Italy with ferry | London to Athens | 5 to 9 days |
| Road via Balkans | Berlin to Thessaloniki | 4 to 7 days |
| Island delivery with domestic ferry | Manchester to Crete | 7 to 12 days |
Live tracking touchpoints
You receive GPS updates at collection, border crossings, port check in, ferry departure, and pre delivery. We also share a final placement ETA on the morning of arrival.

Before collection and delivery, confirm the critical details below so we can match the right crew, vehicle size, and timing.
Street and parking
- Width in the narrowest point and any weight limits or low bridges.
- Loading bay or resident zone rules. Tell us if a temporary permit is required.
- Distances from parking spot to entrance and any slopes or cobbles.
Building and internal access
- Lift dimensions, load rating, and booking slots. Share photo of the lift panel with dimensions.
- Stair counts per flight, turn tightness, and handrails that reduce width.
- Doorway widths and heights, especially for sofas, wardrobes, and fridges.
Island and ferry timing
- Port opening times, vehicle staging areas, and town restrictions near old centers.
- If last mile access is restricted, we organise a shuttle van for the final stretch.
What to send us
- 6 to 10 photos or a short video of entrances, corridors, lifts, and any tight turns.
- Measurements in centimetres of doors, lifts, and the tightest stair corner.
- Exact delivery window preferences so we can sequence ferries and city access hours.
Access checklist at a glance
| Check | What to confirm | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Parking rules | Permit needs and timings | Avoids fines and delays |
| Lift availability | Dimensions and booking slots | Ensures furniture fits and saves time |
| Stairs and turns | Flights, widths, tight corners | Plans crew size and protection |
| Door sizes | Width and height in cm | Prevents last minute disassembly |
| Island limits | Car free zones, shuttle needs | Guarantees smooth last mile |
Share photos and videos, and we will plan the right vehicle size and team.
Insurance and Peace of Mind
Your belongings deserve protection that matches their real value. We help you choose cover that fits your inventory and route, then document everything clearly so any claim is simple to process.
Insurance options at a glance
| Cover type | What it protects | Best for | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Standard goods in transit | Physical loss or damage during loading, transport, and unloading | Most household moves | Set your declared value to match the realistic replacement value |
| Enhanced cover for high value items | Art, antiques, instruments, designer furniture | Single high value pieces | May require photos, condition notes, and custom packing or crating |
| Full value protection | The declared value of your entire shipment | Whole home moves and villas | Higher premium, broader protection across the inventory |
| Pairs and sets add on | One item in a matched set is damaged | Table sets, chairs, modular wardrobes | Allows repair or replacement that preserves the full set |
How to pick your sum insured
- Build an inventory with replacement values in your destination country.
- Add specialty items separately with photos and serial numbers if available.
- Keep receipts where you have them and estimate fairly where you do not.
- Share the list with us so we can confirm packing methods and coverage fit.
Claims checklist

- Proof of value such as receipts or valuations when available.
- The signed delivery note noting any visible damage on arrival.
- Packing evidence for owner packed boxes if applicable.
- Prompt notification after discovery of loss or damage so timelines are met.
We explain policy terms in plain language and keep records tidy. That way you feel protected from the first box to the final placement.

How to move to Greece permanently?
Follow a clear checklist.
- Check your right to reside. EU citizens usually register locally after arrival. UK and other non EU citizens should review visa and residence options on gov.gr and the UK guide on gov.uk.

- Book your move. Choose part load or dedicated service, confirm access, and select packing support: https://vanonsite.com/removals-to-greece/.

How much money do I need to live comfortably in Greece?
Budgets vary by city and lifestyle. As a practical benchmark, singles often target a monthly budget in the 1,200 to 1,800 EUR range in major cities, couples 2,000 to 3,000 EUR, and families 3,000 to 4,500 EUR. Smaller mainland towns can be 20 to 30 percent lower. Popular islands and prime Athens districts can be higher. Treat these as planning ranges and calibrate to your needs.
Where is the cheapest place to live in Greece?
Generally, non tourist mainland towns and secondary cities are more affordable than island hotspots. Areas with competitive rents and daily costs often include parts of Western Macedonia, Epirus, Thessaly, and the Peloponnese. Secondary cities like Patras, Ioannina, Larissa, or Volos can be budget friendly compared to central Athens or high demand islands. Always compare neighbourhoods, transport links, and seasonality before deciding.
