What are the requirements to travel to Greece now, do I need a PCR or is the vaccination certificate enough? It is normal that you ask yourself these questions, as we are in a time of many changes. Fortunately, the Hellenic country is one of the destinations where you can travel now. At IATI Insurance, as lovers of Greece, we are going to tell you everything you need to know so that you can plan your adventure and discover beautiful landscapes and corners with centuries of history.
It is expected that from May 1, 2022, all these restrictions will disappear. The use of face masks indoors will only be mandatory in certain limited cases. Greece wants to boost tourism at all costs this summer, so if you decide to visit, you will find an almost normal climate.
As we told you in Is it safe to travel to Greece, you should always drive with caution, but we advise you to be much more cautious in Greece. Forced overtaking is not uncommon and many drivers expect you to pull straight onto the shoulder so that they can overtake you. In addition, most of the roads are not in good condition.

Here you have a selection of recommendations and tips for traveling to Greece that I wrote down during my trip: transportation between islands, how to drive on the roads of Greece, which route to follow, the mosquito issue, shoes you should wear, maps, the issue of thieves in Athens, queues to enter sites, maps to carry on your mobile, best areas to sleep …
In short, all the recommendations for traveling to Greece that I would have liked to read before my trip and now I leave you here. You know, take paper and pen that I assure you that it will be of great help.
As almost during the whole trip we will have a rental car, one of the few moments where we will need to take a cab will be to go from the Athens airport to the center. In that case, you have the following options:
Whatever you do, any of these 3 options will bring you more money than taking a cab. However, if you are more than 4 people I would seriously consider the third one, mostly because from Syntagma to the hotel you will have to go on foot with the luggage, etc… as you see fit.

If you are considering where to travel to Europe now, you are in luck because Greece is one of the countries with its borders open to tourism and no pandemic-related requirements as of May 1, 2022.
As you can see, it is quite safe to travel to Greece and, moreover, you will find a climate of relative normality, as well as a tourism industry with decades of experience and prepared for these unique times.
Don’t want to wait for anyone else to join you or do you love to travel solo? No need to wait any longer! Traveling alone to Greece is safe and will be an experience you will never forget. Just follow the precautions you would have at home and avoid lonely places and the depressed neighborhoods we told you about a few lines above after sunset.
Remember that, due to the current situation, travel documents and requirements may change. At IATI we are constantly updating this information. However, we recommend always checking with official sources.
