Italy, Greece, Turkey, Bulgaria, Romania....
Hi,
Firstly my apologies - I haven't posted for a while as work commitments have, as ever, taken precident over my travelling activities  About 18 months ago I started to plan a trip to Syria from the UK. Down through Italy, Greece, Turkey and on into Syria. Recent, er 'developments' have made this trip unfeasable...... So plan B is to get as far as Turkey, and then head back through Bulgaria, Romania (friends there) and then head home again via Hungary. My insurers - ebike - don't offer cover in Turkey, Bulgaria & Romania. Can I buy insurance at the borders of these countries?? I have endeavoured to my own research, but am currently at work on the North Sea, where time and Internet access are both fairly limited!! I shall be travelling on a '07 GS ADV, solo, and doing some camping along the way. Some advice regarding insurance, Visa's, etc much appreciated, Many thanks, GB

Insurance is certainly available to purchase for Turkey at the border. I will pass on a warning given to me, ensure you inform the broker the cover is required for a motorcycle or you will be charged for a car (a higher premium).
When are you planning to leave?

bulgaria and romania are both EU countries - so your insurer must give at least the min level of cover by law.... most phone muppets at insurance companies have no idea!!

Both of them a speaking fluent english.

My partner and I on separate bikes recently included a trip of the Balkan's including the coutries you mention. We found Carol Nash insurance very flexible in terms of tailoring the countries needed
