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 on 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 the Mediterranean Sea[1], it being the most southerly point reached by an E-road.
