Travelers should note a few important developments and current advisories. Greece has recently revised its tourism tax structure—since January 2025, an increased tourism tax now applies to most accommodations, including hotels and short-term rentals like Airbnb. The amount varies depending on the type of property and the season, so be sure to confirm the latest figures before booking.
Seasonal risks are especially important right now. Extreme heat and wildfires are affecting large parts of Greece, including areas close to major cities and tourist locations. Fires are most common between July and September, particularly in the Peloponnese, Central Greece, Eastern Macedonia, and parts of Athens. Travelers should closely follow announcements from local authorities, avoid lighting fires under any circumstances, and reconsider hiking or camping during peak temperature days. Greek regulations prohibit camping in tents or parking camper vans at beaches, archaeological sites, or similar public areas; use only licensed campsites to avoid fines.
Recent seismic activity, especially near Santorini and the Cycladic islands in early 2025, raised concerns. However, the increased earthquake activity has since diminished, and tourist operations are continuing as usual. The Santorini caldera remains stable, and no volcanic eruption is anticipated. Still, travelers are encouraged to familiarize themselves with local earthquake procedures and know the locations of assembly points, especially if visiting areas with a history of seismic activity.
Petty crime such as pickpocketing is a risk in crowded places, especially on public transportation in Athens and major tourist hubs. Keep valuables secure, use cross-body bags, and remain mindful of surroundings. Women travelers are urged to use caution, particularly on islands where isolated incidents of assault have been reported—never accept rides from strangers or casual acquaintances.
When participating in water activities, heed all posted warnings regarding tides and currents. Certain aquatic species can pose dangers, and hazardous beach conditions may occur during adverse weather.
For those driving or cycling, note that Greek drivers do not always adhere strictly to traffic laws, so exercise caution when crossing streets. Public transport requires ticket validation, and fines for noncompliance are severe.
As always, listen for official updates, carry a fully charged phone, and follow local guidelines. Emergency services are reachable by dialing 112. By taking standard precautions and staying alert to local conditions, listeners can look forward to a safe and enjoyable experience exploring Greece’s rich history, vibrant culture, and stunning landscapes this summer.
