Greek National Road 65 (Greek: Εθνική Οδός 65), abbreviated as the EO65, is a national road in northern Greece. It connects the Greek National Road 2 at Diavata, a northwestern suburb of Thessaloniki, with Kilkis. Most of the National-Road has been upgraded to a Motor-Road, connecting Thessaloniki via Kilkis with Doirani, the eastern border of Greece and North Macedonia.

History
Ministerial Decision G25871 of 9 July 1963 created the EO65 from the old EO39, which existed by royal decree from 1955 until 1963, and followed the same route as the current EO65, from Diavata to Kilkis.[2][3] The northern end of the EO65 was later extended in two phases, from Kilkis to Rodopoli and the border with North Macedonia at Doirani on 15 December 1995,[4] and from Rodopoli to the bridge over the Strymonas near Neo Petritsi in 1998:[5] the extension from Kilkis to the Strymonas bridge took over some of the Kilkis regional unit's provincial roads.
Liti–Nea Santa National Road
The Liti–Nea Santa National Road is an unnumbered branch of the EO65 around the boundary between the Kilkis and Thessaloniki regional units, running from Nea Santa in the north to Liti and the EO12 in the south: the branch is about 14.7 kilometres (9.1 miles) long.[6] The Liti–Nea Santa National Road was created by Ministerial Decision DMEO/e/O/1308 of 15 December 1995, making it part of the secondary national network,[4] and was numbered the EO65β (in Thessaloniki) and EO65γ (in Kilkis) for statistical purposes by the National Statistical Service of Greece (ESYE).[5]
