In Greece the delivery end is usually a network partner firm

There is no single best international mover for Greece, and any list claiming otherwise is guessing. What there is: a small group of firms with the accreditations, the customs experience and the European network that this route actually needs.

Four of the companies below are working members of AGM Group, the network we belong to. They are marked as such, and you should read that as a disclosure rather than a recommendation. The other six are independent of us entirely.

Greece route coverage is confirmed per enquiry rather than assumed. Not every firm on this page runs every Greek destination, and an island address in particular narrows the field.

How to use this page: treat it as a shortlist to check rather than a ranking to trust. Verify the accreditation numbers yourself, and ask each firm the four Greek route questions further down.

🏆 Working members of AGM Group

The three network companies, declared

We are a working member of AGM Group and so are these three. That is a commercial relationship and you should weigh what follows accordingly. Each accreditation listed below was checked against the company's own published record, and every one of them publishes a member register you can check yourself.

Three other AGM Group companies are deliberately not listed here. Anglo French Euro Removals runs France and Switzerland only, The Senior Move Partnership handles later-life moves within the UK, and Momentous Relocation does fine art and hotel fit-out logistics. None of them would be the right firm for a Greek move, and putting them on this page to make the list longer would be the sort of thing this page warns against.

AGM Group network

Abels Moving Services

Trading since 1958 and the first removals firm ever granted a Royal Warrant for removals and storage, appointed in 1988 and renewed in 2025. They hold FIDI FAIM Plus, which is a tier above standard FAIM certification and the strongest accreditation any firm on this page carries. Worth a conversation if your shipment includes anything fragile, high value or awkward enough to need crating rather than wrapping. They also handle pets, vehicles and currency alongside the household goods, which matters if your move has more than one moving part.

Verified: FIDI FAIM Plus, IAM, BAR, Movers Trading Club, ISO 9001, 14001, 45001 and 27001. Company number 3592000.

AGM Group network

Bishop's Move

Founded in Pimlico in 1854 and a founding member of the British Association of Removers, with more than twenty branches across Britain and Europe. Their EUROMOVERS membership is the reason they are on a Greece page rather than a general one: that network includes Greek member firms, so the delivery end is a partner they already work with rather than one found for the job. Scale matters on a European road move, because collection and consolidation happen in-house rather than being subcontracted at the first opportunity.

Verified: BAR founding member, BAR Overseas, IAM, EUROMOVERS, Commercial Moving Group, Movers Trading Club (US Federal Maritime Commission 027552), ISO 9001, 14001, 45001 and 27001.

AGM Group network

Gerson Moving Services

Trading since 1961 and the only one of the three that does nothing but international household moves, which shows in how the service is organised: one move manager stays your contact from survey to delivery rather than passing you between departments. They describe themselves as groupage specialists, and shared container space is the option that suits most Greek moves under about fifteen cubic metres. Their FIDI FAIM certification is checkable on FIDI's own register rather than taken from a logo, which is the standard this page asks you to apply to everyone.

Verified: FIDI FAIM, listed on FIDI's own affiliate register with certification running to 2028, plus BAR, BAR Overseas, the Advanced Payment Guarantee, IAM, EuRA, OMNI, Movers Trading Club, Planet Mark and membership of the Furniture and Home Improvement Ombudsman. Trading since 1961.

🌐 Independent international movers

Six firms we have no relationship with

These are here because leaving them off would make the page dishonest. We take nothing from any of them, and several compete directly with the network above.

John Mason International

A long-standing British international mover with a strong record on overseas household shipping and its own groupage services. Ask specifically about consolidation frequency, since that is what decides how long a shared load waits.

White and Company

Substantial UK branch coverage with an established international department, which helps when collection is somewhere awkward to reach. Storage capacity is worth asking about if your Greek property is not ready on time.

Robinsons Relocation

International relocation across both corporate and private moves, with a well-developed survey process. If you want a firm that will insist on seeing what you own before quoting, this is the kind of operation that does.

Four questions that sort a Greek shortlist

Ask every shipping company the same four things

These are route questions, not general moving ones. A company that has planned Greek moves answers all four without hesitating, and one that has not will be vague on at least two.

  1. Which Greek port do my goods clear at? Piraeus, Thessaloniki, Patras or Heraklion. The answer sets your inland leg.
  2. By road, which Italian crossing? Brindisi to Igoumenitsa runs about eight hours. Venice to Patras is over thirty.
  3. If it is an island, which sailing? And what happens if it is full or cancelled.
  4. What if a full-size vehicle cannot reach the door? Vehicle restrictions apply in the old towns of Corfu, Chania, Rethymno and Rhodes.

Compare the answers, not the totals. On this route the difference between two prices is almost always something included in one and missing from the other.

FIDI FAIM, BAR Overseas, IAM, EUROMOVERS and FEDEMAC all publish member lists. Ask any firm on this page, ours included, for its membership number and check it. FIDI FAIM is independently audited, which makes it the one that carries most weight on a move involving customs and a sea crossing.

Moving out of Greece, not into it

The same list, a different job

Greece to Britain is one of the busiest directions we see, and it needs something the inbound direction does not: a firm comfortable collecting from a property the owner has already left, often on an island, often with the inventory unknown until somebody opens the door.

That is a narrower capability than shipping into Greece, and it is worth asking about directly. A company that runs regular consolidation out of Piraeus will handle it far better than one that treats every outbound job as a one-off.

The other difference is the paperwork. Goods entering Britain need an import entry and relief applied for before they travel, so the firm's experience with that process matters more than its European road network does.

Choosing a mover for Greece

What people ask when comparing companies

Including why this page does not rank them one to ten.

Which is the best international mover for a move to Greece?

There is no single answer, and a page that gives you one is guessing. The right firm depends on your volume, whether you go by road or sea, whether an island is involved and how fixed your dates are. What you can do is shortlist on accreditation and route experience, then compare like for like on the four questions this page sets out.

Why are some companies on this list marked as network members?

Because we are a working member of AGM Group and so are four of the firms listed. That is a commercial relationship and you are entitled to know about it before weighing anything we say. The other six are independent of us and several compete directly with the network.

Does an accreditation actually mean anything?

It means something if you check it. FIDI FAIM, BAR Overseas, IAM, EUROMOVERS and FEDEMAC all publish member lists, so ask for the membership number and verify it against the register. FIDI FAIM is independently audited, which makes it the most meaningful for a move involving customs and a sea crossing. A logo on a website is an image file.

Do all these companies cover every part of Greece?

No, and we do not claim they do. Route coverage is confirmed per enquiry rather than assumed. Mainland destinations are widely served. Islands narrow the field considerably, and a smaller Cycladic address narrows it further still, because it depends on which firm has a working relationship with the sailings that serve it.

Should I just pick the cheapest quote?

On this route the gap between two prices is almost always something included in one and missing from the other, most often the island ferry leg, the packing standard or a shuttle vehicle where a lorry cannot reach the door. Compare what is in each quote line by line before you compare totals.

How many quotes should I get?

Three is usually enough to see the shape of the market, and more than that tends to produce noise rather than information. What matters more is that all three are based on a proper survey rather than a phone estimate, because an unsurveyed quote can be revised on loading day.

Can you tell me about a company not listed here?

Often, yes. If you have a quote from a firm that is not on this page and want to know whether it holds up, send us the name. We will tell you what can be verified about it, including whether the accreditations it displays are real. We would rather do that than have you take a risk.

What if the company I book with subcontracts my move?

Ask before booking, in writing, who physically handles the goods at each stage and under which company name. Subcontracting is normal and not in itself a problem. Subcontracting you did not know about, to a firm nobody will name once something goes wrong, is the problem.

Is a bigger company safer than a smaller one?

Not necessarily. Scale helps on collection reach and on keeping work in-house rather than subcontracting it. A smaller specialist with genuine Greek route experience will often plan the job better than a large generalist. Accreditation, survey discipline and route knowledge are better tests than headcount.

International Removals Companies

We are a free enquiry service and a Working Member of AGM Group, which is why four of the companies on this page are declared as network members. We do not carry out removals ourselves and we take nothing from the independent firms listed.

Verify any company before you pay it, including one we introduce you to. That advice costs us nothing and might save you a great deal.
