Interpreting in Athens

Interpreting in Athens: EU, Maritime, and Legal

Athens sits at a crossroads of European, Balkan, and Middle Eastern business flows, and its institutions create demand for interpreters across a wide range of registers. The Hellenic Parliament and Greek ministries run EU-funded project coordination and policy meetings that need multilingual coverage, the Athens Court of First Instance and Court of Appeal require sworn interpreters for hearings and notarial acts, and the Port of Piraeus, one of Europe's busiest container terminals, generates a continuous stream of shipping conferences, maritime arbitration, P&I club hearings, and cargo dispute proceedings that call for specialist maritime vocabulary. Conferences and trade fairs at the Megaron Athens International Conference Centre, the Zappeion, and Helexpo, alongside medical-tourism consultations at hospital networks such as Evangelismos and Hygeia, round out a market where accurate interpreting carries real commercial and legal weight.

What Our Clients Say

“Reliable, trustworthy and customer-centric This is the summation of Michael, Suzy and their team of translators. I have worked with them for over a year, and they have been my translation service for advertising in many European languages - from Swedish to German to Russian, and not always from English! Consider them a rare find.”

“We contacted Betranslated services in July 2024. My daughter had time sensitive documents that required certified translation from Spanish to English. The company accommodated her request and promptly, accurately translated all of her documents ahead of time. The documents showed clearly which part had been translated to make it easy to identify. They were friendly & professional, and we would recommend their services to anyone.”
