The Anglo-Prussian Convention of 1846 provided for routes via Hamburg and via Holland with single rates of
1 s 4d and 1 s 5d respectively, but it is very doubtful if they were ever used for mail sent from the UK to Greece.

a Greece became a member of the Union on 1st July 1875, but the full reduction on Routes 2 and 3A were not
implemented until France's entry on 1st January 1876.
