Greece Travel Tips

When preparing for your trip to Greece, start by ensuring your passport is valid for at least six months beyond your planned departure date and check if you need a visa based on your nationality.

Purchase travel insurance to cover medical emergencies, trip cancellations, and other unforeseen circumstances during your trip. Verify if it includes coverage for outdoor activities if you plan to engage in them. You can easily do so via our partners at Allianz.

Greece uses the Euro (€), so notify your bank of your travel dates to avoid any issues with your debit or credit cards, and consider carrying some cash for smaller purchases or places that may not accept cards.

Learning a few basic Greek phrases can help with daily interactions, and downloading a translation app can assist with communication.

Check the weather forecast for your travel dates and pack appropriate clothing for the season, including lightweight clothing for summer and layers for cooler months, as well as comfortable walking shoes for exploring.

Greece uses type C and F electrical outlets with a standard voltage of 230V, so bring a suitable adapter and consider a voltage converter if your devices aren’t compatible.

Check with your mobile provider about international roaming options or prepare for your upcoming trip by purchasing an e-sim plan on the Airalo app. It's a more affordable and convenient option compared to local SIM cards or international fees.

Organize essential travel documents, including flight tickets, hotel reservations, transportation passes, and any tour or activity bookings. Keep copies of important documents such as your passport, travel insurance, and emergency contacts.

You can also download our Firebird App to view all of your trip-related documents and details in one place online or offline! The app is available in both the App Store and Google Play.

Familiarize yourself with Greek customs and etiquette to respect local culture, dress modestly when visiting religious sites, and learn about local tipping practices and dining etiquette.
