Greek National Road 53 (), abbreviated as the EO53, is a national road in northeastern Greece. The EO53 runs within the Evros regional unit, from Alexandroupolis to Mikro Dereio near the border with Bulgaria: however, the border crossing itself is unbuilt.
Route
The EO53 is officially defined as a north–south road within the Evros regional unit: the road runs between Alexandroupolis and Mikro Dereio, via Aisymi and Mega Dereio: however, the border crossing itself, over the Erythropotamos and towards Gorno Lukovo, is unbuilt. The EO53 connects with the EO2 in Alexandroupolis, but there is no direct interchange with the A2 motorway, which bypasses the city.
History
Ministerial Decision G25871 of 9 July 1963 created the EO53 from the old EO49, which existed by royal decree from 1955 until 1963, and followed the same route as the current EO53.
