There are no border checks at this crossing

About Kapitan Petko Voyvoda – Ormenio

Kapitan Petko Voyvoda is a village in the Svilengrad municipality of Haskovo province, close to the point where the borders of Bulgaria, Greece and Turkey meet. On the Greek side is Ormenio, the northernmost village of the Evros region, and the road continues down the Evros valley through Orestiada towards Alexandroupoli. The crossing handles cars, buses and trucks up to 7.5 t in both directions and links the Svilengrad and Haskovo area with Greek Thrace; it is used by locals, regional carriers and tourists heading for the Aegean.

For travellers the key change came on 1 January 2025, when Bulgaria joined Schengen at its land borders too, so the border with Greece is internal and there are no systematic document checks. Both Bulgaria and Greece can still temporarily reintroduce controls, so check the latest information before leaving and keep a passport or ID card with you. Bulgaria requires an electronic vignette, and Greek motorways charge tolls.

Traffic picks up in summer, especially on Fridays and Sundays, and during holiday periods when more buses appear. At other times the crossing is usually quick. Do not confuse it with nearby Kapitan Andreevo on the Turkish border. Alternatives on the Greek border are Ivaylovgrad–Kyprinos to the west and Makaza–Nymfaia in the Rhodopes.

A road charge is counted only where the route actually uses a toll road. A vignette is always counted, because in many countries it is required on ordinary roads too.

Where a drive uses a toll motorway, the barrier toll for that section is included in the figure, at the price the road operator publishes for it. A vignette is a flat national price.
