Entry Requirements
UK travellers can visit Greece for up to 90 days in a 180-day period without a visa. Your passport should be valid for at least three months beyond your return date.
Best Time to Visit
Late spring and early autumn offer warm weather, fewer crowds, and ideal sea conditions. Summer is the most popular time, especially for island-hopping and beach holidays.
Vaccinations
No vaccinations are required for entry. Routine vaccines should be up to date, including Tetanus and Hepatitis A. Bring insect repellent if visiting rural or island areas in summer.
Currency
Greece uses the Euro (EUR). Cards are accepted in most places, but carry cash for small tavernas, ferries, and village shops where minimum charges may apply.
Language
Greek is the official language. English is widely spoken in tourist areas. Learning a few Greek words like “kalimera” (good morning) or “efharisto” (thank you) is always welcomed.
Electricity
Greece uses 230V with Type C and F plugs. A standard European adaptor is needed for UK devices. Power is reliable, even on most islands.
Santorini
Famous for its whitewashed villages, blue-domed churches, and dramatic caldera views. Visit for sunsets in Oia, wine tasting, and relaxing cliffside pools overlooking the Aegean Sea.
Mykonos
A lively island known for its beaches, nightlife, and luxury hotels. Explore the charming old town of Chora and visit the windmills or nearby sacred island of Delos.
Crete
Greece’s largest island offers everything from ancient ruins to mountain villages and palm-fringed beaches. Highlights include the Palace of Knossos, Elafonissi beach, and Samaria Gorge.
Corfu
A lush Ionian island with Venetian influence, green hills, and clear waters. Explore Corfu Town’s old fortress, swim in hidden coves, and enjoy traditional seafood tavernas.
Rhodes
Rich in medieval history, Rhodes combines UNESCO-listed Old Town charm with beach resorts and ancient temples. Visit Lindos and the Palace of the Grand Master for cultural highlights.
Paros & Naxos
Ideal for a quieter island experience with beautiful beaches, traditional villages, and ferry access to other Cyclades. Great for couples, food lovers, and relaxed exploration.
Getting Around
Island hopping is easy with regular ferries and domestic flights. Car hire is recommended on larger islands like Crete or mainland road trips. Taxis and buses are available in most towns.
Weather & Packing
Summers are hot and dry. Pack light clothing, sun protection, and a hat. Bring layers for cooler evenings in spring or autumn, and good shoes for archaeological sites and walking tours.
Dining in Greece
Meals are a social affair and often long. Expect generous portions and fresh local ingredients. Tipping is appreciated but not required; rounding up the bill is common practice.
Driving Advice
Road conditions vary, especially on smaller islands. Drive on the right, watch for mopeds and pedestrians, and avoid narrow lanes in old towns. Check your rental includes full insurance.
Cash Tips
Cash is king in some rural areas and on smaller islands. Always carry some Euros for emergencies, tolls, and places that don’t accept cards. ATMs are available in most towns.
Respect for Local Culture
Cover shoulders when entering churches and dress modestly in villages. Avoid loud behaviour and take time to engage with locals. Greek hospitality is warm and sincere when approached with respect.
Thousands of Islands
Greece has over 6,000 islands and islets, with around 200 inhabited. Each one offers a unique mix of scenery, history, cuisine, and local traditions.
Cradle of Western Civilisation
Greece is the birthplace of democracy, philosophy, and the Olympic Games. Ancient ruins can be found throughout the mainland and on many islands.
Blue Flag Beaches
Greece consistently ranks among the top countries for Blue Flag beaches, recognised for cleanliness, safety, and environmental care. Ideal for swimming and snorkelling.
Olive Oil Heritage
Greek olive oil is among the finest in the world. Many families still produce their own, and tastings are often available at farms or rural estates.
Volcanic Landscapes
Santorini, Milos, and Nisyros offer dramatic volcanic scenery. These islands are perfect for travellers interested in geology, thermal springs, and unique natural beauty.
Warm Hospitality
Greek people are known for their generosity and warmth. Expect a heartfelt welcome, especially in rural villages and family-run guesthouses. Hospitality is a cornerstone of Greek culture.
