Frequently Asked Questions
Greece is a year-round destination. Summer (June to August) is ideal for beachgoers and water sports enthusiasts. Spring (April to June) and autumn (September to October) offer pleasant weather for sightseeing with fewer crowds. Winter (November to March) is great for exploring cultural sites and enjoying milder temperatures in the southern parts of Greece.
Most travelers from the United States, Canada, the European Union, and many other countries do not need a visa for short stays (up to 90 days) for tourism or business purposes. Check the Greek consulate or embassy website for the most up-to-date visa requirements based on your nationality.
The currency in Greece is the Euro (€). Credit cards are widely accepted in cities and tourist areas. However, it’s advisable to carry some cash, especially when visiting more remote locations and small villages.
The official language is Greek. While English is commonly spoken in tourist areas and larger cities, it’s helpful to learn a few basic Greek phrases to enhance your experience and show respect for the local culture.
Pack light, comfortable clothing for warm weather, but also include layers for cooler evenings or if you plan to visit mountainous regions. Don’t forget sunscreen, a hat, comfortable walking shoes, and a power adapter for your electronic devices.
In most areas of Greece, tap water is safe to drink and of high quality. However, in some remote villages or on certain islands, it’s best to drink bottled water to avoid any potential issues.
Greece has an extensive transportation network. You can travel between cities by bus, train, or domestic flights. For exploring islands, ferries and hydrofoils are common modes of transportation. In cities, taxis and public buses or trams are readily available.
Greeks are known for their warmth and hospitality. It’s customary to greet with a friendly “Kalimera” (good morning) or “Kalispera” (good evening). Dress modestly when visiting churches or monasteries, covering shoulders and knees. Tipping is common, with 10-15% being standard in restaurants.
Consider visiting ancient sites like Delphi, Olympia, and Epidaurus on the mainland. Meteora’s monasteries are also a unique and breathtaking destination. The Peloponnese Peninsula offers a wealth of historical and natural wonders.
Greece is generally a safe destination for travelers. Like any other country, exercise common sense, safeguard your belongings, and be aware of your surroundings. Petty theft can occur in crowded tourist areas, so keep an eye on your belongings.
Remember that travel advisories and safety conditions can change, so it’s a good idea to check with your government’s travel website for the latest information and guidance before your trip.
