There are heightened safety concerns about wildfires, which are common between July and September, especially in the Peloponnese, Central Greece, Eastern Macedonia and Thrace, and even in the northern areas surrounding Athens. Travelers should avoid lighting fires during hikes and always follow posted warnings, since trails can lack shade and route markings may be unreliable. The Canadian Government’s travel advisory website urges visitors to pack sunscreen, water, and wear appropriate footwear for uneven terrain. If hiking, let someone know your route, avoid solitary excursions, and ensure your insurance covers mountain rescue or helicopter evacuation costs. In case of emergency, call 112.
Travelers interested in Greece's islands—especially Santorini—should be aware of recent mild seismic activity in the Aegean Sea. Local authorities are actively monitoring these earthquakes and assure that Santorini’s caldera remains stable, and seismologists do not expect any volcanic eruptions. Nonetheless, official advisories recommend staying informed for updates and checking with local resources for ongoing safety guidance.
Regarding health and safety, medical facilities in major cities like Athens and Thessaloniki have generally good standards, but services in smaller islands or remote regions may require evacuation for serious illness or injury. Travel insurance that covers both hospital stays and medical evacuation is strongly advised.
As of January 2025, tourists need to budget for an increased tourism tax on accommodations, including hotels and short-term rentals such as Airbnb. The amount varies depending on the lodging type and time of year, as reported by Insurte Travel Guide. Additionally, Greece enforces regulations prohibiting camping in tents or parking motorhomes at archaeological sites, beaches, or public forests, so listeners should select licensed campsites to avoid fines.
Those moving around Athens or other urban centers should watch for pickpockets, especially on public transportation and around busy squares. It’s suggested to keep bags in front of the body, avoid leaving personal belongings on seats, and be cautious when crossing streets or in crowded locations. Travelers are also urged to avoid neighborhoods with poor reputations after midnight.
Women should be particularly vigilant in nightlife areas, as incidents of sexual assault have occasionally occurred, most frequently on the islands. Authorities advise not accepting rides from strangers or acquaintances and being careful in unfamiliar social situations.
Air quality in Greek cities, including Athens, may at times be affected by pollution, and those with respiratory issues should monitor NASA’s Air Quality Forecast or check for alerts from local authorities. It is also important for all visitors to be current on vaccinations and practical health measures as outlined by the CDC.
For those planning to drive, be aware that Greek law requires not only a valid foreign driver’s license but also an International Driving Permit. Failing to carry both can result in heavy fines or personal liability in case of accidents.
Finally, with the UK issuing new travel advisories for Greece this September, travelers are advised to be prepared for changes or disruptions and to follow official guidance in case of emergencies.
With practical preparation and attention to official updates, listeners can expect a rewarding and safe experience exploring Greece’s islands, cities, and countryside in 2025.
