Euro Truck Simulator 2 - Greece is an upcoming map expansion DLC for Euro Truck Simulator 2. It will be the ninth map of DLC involving map expansions when it releases.
As its title suggests, the DLC will only be adding 1 new country, which is Greece, as well as opening the northwestern border of Türkiye to further complete it.
It is the first map expansion in Euro Truck Simulator 2 to add a single country not previously covered by the base game or earlier DLCs. This is similar to the DLC development strategy for American Truck Simulator.

Trivia[]
- Greece is the ETS2's third single-country-based DLC since Vive La France ! and Italia, but the first one to add a full single country, since the former two expands the existing countries.
- According to a blog post, Greece's pre-production was faster than any other map DLC's pre-production which takes almost 1 year into the actual production.
