However, travelers should exercise standard precautions, such as safeguarding valuables, especially in crowded tourist hotspots and public transport. Petty crime like pickpocketing can occur in busy areas. It’s wise to stay informed about local guidelines and emergency procedures throughout your stay.
One noteworthy event affecting travel in early 2025 is a series of earthquakes near the Greek islands of Santorini, Amorgos, Anafi, and Ios. The tremors, though noticeable, have not caused significant damage, and seismologists confirm that the activity is attributed to undersea fault lines rather than volcanic unrest. Santorini’s caldera remains stable, and experts do not expect major eruptions. Authorities in Greece have responded swiftly to these events, prioritizing visitor safety and monitoring the situation closely. Travelers planning to visit the affected islands should monitor official updates and follow local safety instructions.
Travelers in Greece should also be mindful of seasonal hazards. When enjoying the country’s famed beaches and islands, watch for tidal changes, riptides, and hazardous marine life such as jellyfish, sea urchins, or coral, as local authorities and travel.gc.ca advise. Always obey safety flags and lifeguard instructions and avoid swimming during severe weather warnings. Cliff erosion and falling rocks can pose risks along coastal areas, so heed posted warnings and avoid diving into unfamiliar waters.
For women, as in many tourist destinations, it is strongly advised to avoid accepting rides from strangers or casual acquaintances, especially on the islands, as sporadic incidents of sexual assault against foreigners have been reported.
Drivers should note that Greek roads can vary in quality, and rural roads might be less well maintained. The CDC recommends always wearing seatbelts, using helmets on motorbikes or bicycles, and using official taxis or public transportation when possible. Driving after dark in rural regions is discouraged. If you’re planning to drive in Greece, have an International Driving Permit along with your home country’s license, and check your insurance coverage.
In 2025, travelers should also budget for a new, increased tourism tax that took effect on January 1. The amount varies based on the type of accommodation and the season, impacting hotels and short-term rentals alike. This change, according to Insurte, is part of Greece’s ongoing efforts to support local infrastructure and manage the significant tourist influx seen in recent years.
No tourist visa is required for stays under 90 days for many nationalities, but official and diplomatic passport holders do require a visa.
In summary, Greece remains a safe and rewarding destination for travelers in 2025. Stay informed about current events, especially in areas experiencing seismic activity, follow standard travel precautions, respect local laws and customs, and keep an eye out for official updates regarding weather, transportation, and safety. With preparation and awareness, listeners can look forward to exploring Greece’s beauty and culture with confidence.
