Greek National Road 6 (Greek: Εθνική Οδός 6, abbreviated as EO6) is a national road in north-central Greece. It begins at the port of Igoumenitsa and ends at Volos, passing through the towns Ioannina, Metsovo, Trikala and Larissa. The section between Metsovo and Volos is part of the European route E92. The road runs through five regional units (Thesprotia, Ioannina, Trikala, Larissa and Magnesia) and the regions of Epirus and Thessaly.

The EO6 is officially defined as a east-west route through central and northwestern Greece, between Volos in the east and Igoumenitsa to the west: the EO6 passes through Larissa, Trikala, Kalabaka, Mourgkani [el], Katara Pass, Metsovo and Ioannina.^[1] The EO6 west of Trikala is particularly mountainous, passing through the Pindus, and at Neraida [el], the EO6 briefly overlaps with the EO18.

The EO6, between Larissa and the interchange with the A3 motorway near Trikala, is being upgraded to dual carriageway with expressway characteristics.^[2] Meanwhile, the A1 motorway provides a faster route than the overlapping EO1/EO6 section between Velestino and Larissa, and the A2 motorway (Egnatia Odos) does the same between Malakasi and Igoumenitsa.

Ministerial Decision G25871 of 9 July 1963 created the current EO6 from all or part of three short-lived national roads (listed from east to west), which existed by royal decree from 1955 to 1963: the old EO14 from Volos to Larissa; the old EO23 from Larissa to Ioannina; and the old EO26 from Ioannina to Igoumenitsa.^[3][1] Until 1975, the EO6 formed part of the old European route E87 from Volos to Ioannina.^[4]
