The E 75 starts at the town of Vardø in Norway by the Barents Sea and it runs south through Finland, Poland, Czech Republic, Slovakia, Hungary, Serbia, North Macedonia, and Greece. The road ends after about 4,380 kilometres (2,720 mi) (not counting ferries) 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.

It is also possible to take a ferry from Helsinki to Tallinn and drive along the E67 from Tallinn to Piotrków Trybunalski in Poland and then continue with the E75.
