European route E 75 is part of the International E-road network, which is a series of main roads in Europe.
The E 75 starts at the town of Vardø in far northeastern Norway, along the Barents Sea and it runs south through Finland, Poland, Czech Republic, Slovakia, Hungary, Serbia, Macedonia, and Greece. The road ends after about 5,639 kilometres (3,504 mi) at the town of Sitia on eastern end of the island of Crete (in Greece) in the Mediterranean Sea.[1]
From the beginning of the 1990s until 2009, there was not a ferry connection between Helsinki and Gdańsk. However, Finnlines started a regular service between Helsinki and Gdynia. It is also possible to take a ferry from Helsinki to Tallinn and drive through E67 from Tallinn to Piotrków Trybunalski in Poland and continue with E75.
