However, travelers should be aware of several recent developments. In February 2025, the U.S. Mission in Greece issued a Natural Disaster Alert regarding a series of earthquakes near the Greek islands of Amorgos, Santorini, Anafi, and Ios. While no significant damage has been reported, seismologists continue to monitor the situation closely. The seismic activity is linked to undersea fault lines rather than volcanic unrest, and Santorini's famous caldera remains stable with no anticipated eruptions.
Since February 28, 2025, demonstrations related to the Tempi train accident have been occurring throughout Greece. Canadian travel authorities note that violent incidents have taken place during these protests, so visitors should expect sporadic disruptions and stay informed through local news sources.
Beginning January 1, 2025, Greece implemented an increased tourism tax affecting various types of accommodations, including hotels and short-term rentals like Airbnb. The tax varies based on the type of lodging and the time of year, so budget-conscious travelers should factor this into their planning.
For personal safety, the CDC recommends standard travel precautions: always wear seatbelts, use sidewalks and marked crosswalks, choose official taxis or public transportation, and avoid using cell phones while driving. Women travelers should exercise additional caution, as sexual assaults of foreigners have been reported, particularly on the islands.
Water safety also warrants attention. While many Greek beaches have excellent safety procedures, tidal changes and strong winds can create hazardous currents. Travelers should always obey warning flags, ask local authorities about dangerous marine species, and exercise caution during severe weather.
The current international situation may also affect travel plans. Due to recent military operations between India and Pakistan, some international carriers like Qatar Airways have temporarily suspended flights to Pakistan and closed Pakistani airspace. While this doesn't directly affect Greece, it could impact connecting flights for travelers using Middle Eastern hubs to reach Greece.
Despite these considerations, Greece maintains its status as a low-risk destination according to the Risk Map 2025, with well-developed tourism infrastructure, low crime rates, and a stable political climate in place to welcome the millions of visitors expected in 2025.
