There is no law in Greece that prohibits transporting luggage (suitcases, bags, etc.) in a passenger car. However, there are safety rules regarding how luggage must be carried.
Luggage must be securely placed so that it cannot move during sudden braking or in the event of an accident.
It must not obstruct the driver's view.
It must not interfere with the driver's ability to operate the steering wheel, gear lever, or pedals.
If you are using a roof rack or roof box, you must not exceed the maximum load specified by the vehicle and roof rack manufacturer, and the luggage must be properly secured.
If any load extends beyond the vehicle, specific legal limits and marking requirements may apply.
Practical advice: Place heavy suitcases low and as close as possible to the back seats in the trunk. If luggage extends into the passenger compartment, secure it with straps or a cargo net.
