Stick it on a plane, see James Cargo http://www.jamescargo.co.uk/

Shipping a bike is unreliable unless you are not bothered about you and
the bike being there at the same time.

Pah. They let in all sorts [1]. Even Qatar in 2011, apparently.

A quick search on google.gr for "greece-israel transport" didnt' reveal
much, but here's a couple of sites that Google ads presented.

http://www.grsamson.gr/main.php?index (English)
http://www.beinoglou.gr/index.htm (English)
http://www.astrametaforiki.gr/diethneis.htm (in Greek, so try google
translate)

I didn't check the sites' contents, I just picked the three more likely to
be able to solve your problem judging from the pics/general description.


Furthermore, you can try asking a question on www.moto.gr, the largest Greek
motorcycle forum I'm aware of. Everyone speaks a bit of English and there's
a lot of helpful people in there. Not sure if you need to register first.

Crate it up, stencil it with the phrase for "Motorcycle Handle with
Care", which is "Agi ftfro m Hezb ull ah".

Then arrange to have it delivered by a small fishing boat, preferably at
night to avoid damage from the heat of the day.

Simples!
