Exciting images of the natural landscapes in the ETS 2 Greece DLC have been shared. It is highlighted that Greece has incredibly diverse nature and scenery, from rugged mountains and lush forests to peaceful islands and sparkling coastlines. Although SCS Software has yet to announce a release date, border crossings and map sectors needed for compatibility with existing DLCs have been added with the 1.53 update.

With most of its climate being Mediterranean, Greece is quite dry; however, due to its mountainous terrain, it also contains numerous micro-climates and local variations. This allows a wide range of vegetation to flourish, including cypress, palm, and oleander trees, as well as the vast olive orchards found throughout the country. The SCS team has aimed to reflect this diversity of vegetation as accurately as possible in the DLC.

As we travel across various islands, we will encounter several natural landmarks, such as the Meteora Monasteries. Formed around 60 million years ago, these rock formations have gradually taken on their unique and varied shapes due to the eroding effects of water, wind, and extreme temperatures. At the top of these formations lies a complex of Eastern Orthodox monasteries, protected as a World Heritage Site.

Mount Olympus, also included in the DLC, is considered in Greek mythology as the abode of the gods and the throne of Zeus. Over the years, changing weather conditions have sculpted Olympus, forming deep gorges, elevated plateaus, smooth slopes, and sharp peaks, giving it a unique shape.

There are many more natural areas like this in the Greece DLC. One of them is Lake Polifitou, one of the largest artificial lakes in Greece. While traveling across the country, we will also see stunning coastal and island views. Additionally, when traveling from Albania in the West Balkans DLC, we will witness the impressive scenery of the Llogara Pass and reach Greece.

Exploring Trikala in Euro Truck Simulator 2’s Greece DLC: A Glimpse into History and Industry

The upcoming Greece DLC for Euro Truck Simulator 2 promises to bring players a detailed recreation of one of Greece’s most historic cities—Trikala(Τρίκαλα). Built on the ancient town of Trikki, which dates back to around 3,000 BC, Trikala is a city rich in history and culture. Known for its narrow streets and historic neighborhoods, this city has been an integral part of Greek civilization for thousands of years.

While truckers won’t be able to navigate through the city center due to its maze of ancient streets, the northern and eastern outskirts of Trikala have been faithfully recreated, offering plenty of opportunities for delivery contracts. SCS Software’s team has focused on capturing the essence of the city’s surrounding areas, where drivers will find a variety of industries to deliver to and from.

A Closer Look at the Eastern Outskirts

In the eastern outskirts of Trikala, truckers will discover an industrial zone that’s bustling with activity. This area is home to several key facilities, including logistics depots, warehouses, and even a supermarket, all designed to mirror their real-world counterparts. Drivers passing through this part of the city will also enjoy stunning views of the nearby mountain range, adding a touch of scenic beauty to their journey.

Agriculture and More in the Northern Area

To the north of Trikala lies the agricultural sector, where truckers will find grain silos and other farming-related industries. Agriculture has long been a key part of Trikala’s economy, and SCS Software has taken great care to reflect this in the Greece DLC. In addition to the familiar industries, there’s also a brand-new industry making its debut in Trikala, though the details on this remain a mystery for now—SCS is saving that reveal for a future blog post!

Why Trikala is a Must-Visit in the Greece DLC

Though truckers won’t venture into Trikala’s historic heart, the recreated outskirts provide ample opportunities for work and exploration. From the industrial zones to the agricultural fields, this city offers a diverse range of industries to engage with, making it a key location for anyone hauling goods across Greece. Plus, the attention to detail in recreating the city’s surroundings ensures that players will feel immersed in the rich history and culture that Trikala embodies.

As SCS Software continues to reveal more about the Greece DLC, we at Simuway are eagerly awaiting the chance to explore Trikala and other Greek cities when the expansion is released, hopefully before the end of 2024!
