At the end of October I'm planning to drive my motorbike from Milano to my new temporary home in Kalamata, and In doing so I'd love to drive across a few country I've not yet pinned from my list, but:

  1. Generally speaking, I'm not sure if there are exceptions even in the EU in regard to driving licences
  2. I'd love to be able to change direction whenever I feel like it, so I'd be better to check every single country from Adriatic sea to Russian Borders, but it's a huge list.

I checked on Google but my usual Google-fu is failing me this time, so I'm asking here: is there some site I can put an itinerary into and get a list of all permits I need, or even better some infographic showing that info for the aforementioned countries?

All european countries (EU) share the same driving license, and there's a lot (Turkey, all currently applying countries, UK) of non--eu or non-schengen zones that share the same system and thus "convalidate" your license.

As long as you've got one of these types , you'll be fine. and when it gets old, you'll have to renew it at your new homeplace.

When outside of europe you might need the IDP to keep driving with your license.

It's a document that accompanies you license.

Countries that recognize the IDP:

dark blue : 100% valid. light blue : 100% too, but might need extra paperwork.
