Grevena has immediate access to the A2 motorway (Egnatia Odos) since the early 2000s. The motorway connects Igoumenitsa (an important port connecting the west coast of Greece with Italy) to Thessaloniki and Alexandroupoli (at the border with Turkey). A direct series of motorway links to Athens will become available sometime in 2026 through the completion of the northern section of the E65 Central Motorway.
