Greece Travel and Vacation – Good to know
Greece is part of the Schengen Zone. Citizens of the EU do not need a visa. Travelers from other countries should check in advance whether they need a visa. A tourist visa can be applied for online, and it is not possible to obtain a visa upon arrival. Please visit the website of the Greek embassy for up-to-date information and application forms.
The Athens Airport (ATH) is the largest and most international airport in Greece. It offers extensive connections to many destinations. For island hopping, the airports in Thessaloniki and Heraklion are also ideal. Check the flight connections and book in advance to secure the best prices.
The local currency in Greece is the Euro (€). Credit cards are widely accepted, but it is advisable to carry cash for small shops or markets. ATMs are available everywhere. Make sure to also have small bills on hand, as many small accommodations and cafés do not accept cards.
Travel insurance is advisable to cover medical costs or unexpected situations. There are no mandatory vaccinations, but standard vaccinations such as tetanus and hepatitis A are recommended. Also, check your insurance coverage and keep a copy of your policy ready for quick access if needed.
An EU driver's license is recognized in Greece. Travelers from non-EU countries should apply for an international driver's license. Please observe local traffic rules and the parking ban. The roads are often narrow and winding, which can make driving somewhat challenging, especially on the islands.
SIM cards are easily available in Greece. Visit local mobile providers or supermarkets like Cosmote, Vodafone, or Wind. You will need an ID for registration. Prices are affordable and offer flexible options for tourists. Compare the rates to find the best deal for data and calls.
In cities like Athens, there is a good public transportation system with subways, buses, and taxis. For island hopping, ferries are often the best choice. Booking in advance can help avoid complications. For longer trips between cities, use intercity buses or trains. Bicycles are also a good way to explore the surrounding areas.
