Greece belongs to the EU, which is why EU citizens do not need a visa. Travelers from other countries should check in advance whether a visa is necessary. The visa application can be applied for online, but not upon entry. You can find information about this on the embassy's website.
Athens Eleftherios Venizelos Airport is ideal for international travelers. For tours in rural areas, the airports of Thessaloniki and Heraklion are also useful. From here, you can easily access off-road trails and hidden beaches.
In Greece, the Euro is the official currency. Credit cards are accepted in most cities, but it is advisable to carry cash for smaller shops and rural areas. ATMs are available everywhere, but check the fees of the bank.
No specific vaccinations are required, but it is recommended that your routine vaccinations are up to date. A travel insurance is very important for off-road adventures, as accidents can happen. Check your insurance coverage before departure, especially for medical emergencies.
To drive in Greece, you need a valid EU driving license. Travelers from other countries should bring their international driving license. Note that driving on unpaved roads often requires specialized vehicles, so plan accordingly. Good off-road vehicles are available at many rental stations.
SIM cards can be purchased cheaply at supermarkets, gas stations, or mobile phone shops. Providers like Vodafone, Cosmote, and Wind exist. It is recommended to use a prepaid card to enjoy mobile data during your off-road experiences. Don't forget to check the activation!
