Greece

Language

The official language in Greece is Greek. English is commonly spoken in major tourist areas, but learning a few Greek phrases can enhance your experience and show appreciation to locals.

Time Zone

Greece is 9 hours ahead of our Salt Lake City mountain time.

Electricity

The power plug sockets used in Greece are Type C, Type L, and Type F. Voltage is 230V, and the standard frequency is 50 Hz. U.S. travelers will need an adapter and possibly a voltage converter.

Climate

Greece has a Mediterranean climate, with mild, wet winters and hot, dry summers, especially in the southern lowlands and islands. Winters in the central and northern mountainous areas can be cold with snowfall. Check the weather forecast close to your travel dates to pack appropriately.

Health

Medical insurance is recommended for travel in Greece, although it is not required. Greece has a high standard of healthcare, but travelers are encouraged to carry sufficient health insurance in case of emergencies. https://www.travelexinsurance.com/homepage?location=44-0110&go=bp

Tips

Though all tourism workers receive a fixed salary, tipping is customary and appreciated for good service. Consider tipping your servers, hotel staff, and tour guides if you receive exceptional service. Standard tips include 5-10% for meals and a few Euros for hotel staff.

Currency

The official currency of Greece is the Euro (€). Exchange rates can vary, but currently, 1 US dollar is approximately equal to 0.94 Euros. Credit cards are widely accepted, but carrying some cash for small purchases is advisable, especially in rural areas.

Transportation

Greece has an extensive bus and ferry network, especially on the islands. In cities like Athens, public transportation, including metro and tram services, is efficient. Car rentals are available but remember that driving in Greece can be challenging in some areas, especially on narrow or mountainous roads.

Local Etiquette

Greeks are known for their hospitality and warmth. When entering a home or small shop, greet with a simple “Kalimera” (Good morning) or “Kalispera” (Good evening). Respect for elders is valued, and modest attire is appreciated in churches and religious sites.

Safety

Greece is generally safe, but like any popular destination, pickpocketing can be an issue in crowded areas. Keep your belongings secure and stay aware of your surroundings, especially in busy tourist spots.

What should I pack when traveling to Greece?

For a comfortable trip, pack casual, lightweight clothing suitable for warm weather. Women might consider bringing sundresses or dressy shorts, while men could opt for light slacks or pants. Comfortable walking shoes are ideal for exploring, with beach sandals or flip-flops for the coast. Essentials also include a light rainproof jacket, a small backpack for day trips, sea-life-friendly sunscreen, sunglasses, a hat for sun protection, and a reusable water bottle. A universal adapter for your electronics and an extra battery pack can also be useful, especially when exploring all day.

Other popular foods include Greek salad with tomatoes, cucumbers, olives, and feta cheese, souvlaki (grilled skewers), and tzatziki, a refreshing yogurt dip. For a more adventurous palate, try regional specialties like papoutsakia (stuffed eggplant) or bouyourdi (baked feta with tomatoes and peppers).

Can I use Credit Cards in Greece?

Credit cards are widely accepted, especially in hotels, restaurants, and larger shops. However, some small businesses and establishments in rural areas may prefer cash. It’s helpful to carry some Euros, especially if you’re venturing to more remote locations.

Do I need a Visa to travel to Greece?

Visa requirements for Greece depend on your nationality and the purpose of your visit.

Our Happy Clients

I was very pleased with the service that I received from evolution35 travel company. Our 9 day trip to Cancún was wonderful time in this beautiful country. The resorts that evolution35 chose for our stay were all wonderful! Evolution35 people was in constant communication with us via email and WhatsApp asking how the trip was going and if we had any concerns or requests and when I did have a request they responded immediately and took care of it. Everything including tours and transportation were taken care of for us so it was very relaxing knowing we did not have to think about anything except when and where we were going next. Evolution35 also worked hard to ensure that we have a wonderful time during our stay in Cancun an that we return home safe. We are planing a trip to Costa Rica with Evolution35 in October.

Our Happy Clients

We did the Costa Rica trip and it was incredible. Zipline, rainforest, boat rides, catamaran. It
was soooo much trip for the money. Loved the hotel Tabacón with the hot springs and the
Westin was also 5 star! You go from the Carribean side to the Pacific. It's the trip of a
lifetime. Well done evolution35

Our Happy Clients

Evolution35 made our dream vacation come true! Great package price inclusive of airfare, 5
star hotel, transportation, meals, and excursions. I did not have to do anything. Everything
was planned ahead for me under one affordable price. We had a blast and are looking
forward to booking again with evolution35! Evolution35 is the way to vacation!!!!!!

Our Happy Clients

Contacté con esta empresa gracias a una amiga. La relación calidad/precio me ha parecido
excelente. La atención durante la contratación del viaje fue muy buena y rápida.
Solucionaron todas nuestras dudas, que eran muchas, con paciencia y acierto. La propuesta
que finalmente contratamos ha sido ideal para una primera vez en Hawaii, nos ha permitido
vivir la tranquilidad de la isla y hacer rutas por los parques naturales. En la llegada a Maui no
reubicaron a un apartahotel mejor en una zona diferente a la inicial que resultó ser un gran
acierto, dado que íbamos en familia, y facilitó nuestra estancia. Si podemos volver en el
futuro para conocer las otras islas, seguro que repetimos con ellos. ¡Gracias!
