According to Jorge the insurance you can buy from him is NOT valued in Turkey ( only 3% of turkey is in Europe)
Is there any agents at the Greek Border?
Peter, have you had any luck confirming that price?
I will get in touch with my nephew in Switzerland to find out if there is a insurance company there that can help?

I have not had a reply from Jorge yet, but it is a very helpfull company indeed.
I cancelled my insurance (didnt need it anymore) and sent the papers back and they sent my money back. Not bad.

Sorry for the delay in replying but I can confirm that everything went smoothly with my insurance. I received scans in advance and the paper documents at my requested address.
I'd like to know know more about that possible price increase for next time though.

Green card available in Russia
Just finished round the world trip in St.Petersburg and was surprised to find a green card in the city so cheap and instant. I ordered one from Arisa but it didn't make it in time because of holidays.
Also heard cheap insurance is available on finnish border west of Vyborg.
I got it for 44 euros / 3 months through a russian company Russkii mir, covering all european countries including Balkans, Ukraine, Turkey, Moldavia and so on. Highly unusual, but actual insurance is from polish company Hestia, they are the underwriters.
Green card is in the same format like any other, written in polish and english if you send me a private message i would be happy to email you a scan.
Place i got it in St. Petersburg was near Ladhoszskaya station, but same company has several branches.

I *think* that in theory most AAs in Europe sell this kind of insurance. I got it in Izmir/TR and in Italy, but both a long time ago.

That's good to know. Thanks, Peter.
Now who wants to write to Jorge about the cumulative 12 month limit? It could be an issue, as mentioned earlier, for anyone who keeps the same bike for a number of years...
