Nomad International
Nomad International has been conducting removals to Greece since 2003. Our focus on the Greek islands was born out of the recognition that most British removal companies focused on removals to "easy" locations like Spain and Germany, leaving people with very limited options for removals to Greece, especially the islands. We have developed specialised systems for dealing with the difficulties in moving to the Greek islands, such as small shuttle vehicles for accessing remote or steep locations.

Happy Easter!!
Easter is fast approaching in Greece. Greece is a country who celebrates Easter according to the Orthodox belief. For those of you who are living in Greece, you may have noticed that the date of Easter in Greece doesn't always fall on the same day. Easter does in your home country. This is because the dates for Easter under the Christian, Catholic and Orthodox religion are all different.
