Practical Tips
Currency
The official currency of Greece is the Euro (EUR). ATMs are widely available, but it’s advisable to carry some cash, especially on the islands and in rural areas.
Transportation
Public transportation, including buses, ferries and domestic flights, connects major cities and islands. Renting a car or scooter is recommended for exploring remote areas and islands at your own pace.
Cultural Etiquette
Greeks are warm and hospitable people, so greet locals with a friendly “Yassas” (hello) and embrace their customs and traditions. Dress modestly when visiting churches and religious sites.
Health and Safety
Ensure you have travel insurance and carry any necessary medications. Tap water is generally safe to drink, but bottled water is readily available. Be cautious of pickpockets in crowded tourist areas.
