Do I need travel insurance for Greece?
Depending on the policy chosen, travel insurance for Greece can help to better prepare you to deal with unexpected and unforeseen circumstances such as injury or sickness as well as trip cancellation and disruption expenses. One way to prepare for this is by making international travel insurance for Greece a priority.
Here are some situations which you might consider when deciding if you need travel insurance for Greece and whether your international travel insurance policy can provide cover for these situations:
Becoming unexpectedly sick or injured could force you to cancel your trip to Greece. Rescheduling a cancelled trip and dealing with lost deposits and non-refundable flights and accommodation can become stressful and expensive. Consider if your international travel insurance can provide cover for trip cancellation expenses.
If you need to cancel your trip to Greece due to an existing medical condition, you could be left out of pocket for non-refundable pre-paid trip bookings. You may wish to check if your travel insurance policy can provide cover for trip cancellation expenses if you need to cancel your trip due to your existing medical condition/s.
Bad weather and other covered events could cause delays and mean you might have to spend extra money on food and accommodation while you wait for a new flight to Greece. Consider if your travel insurance can provide cover for travel delay expenses such as additional meals and accommodation.
If your scheduled transport to special events is cancelled, delayed, shortened or diverted, you could risk spending thousands of dollars on additional transport to make it to your special events on time. Worse yet, you could miss out on special events you’ve already booked and paid for. Consider if your travel insurance for Greece can provide cover for special event transport expenses.

What is not covered in our Greece travel insurance?
It’s important to know not just what your travel insurance covers, but also what it doesn’t, so you can choose the right policy for your needs. As with all policies, many situations and activities will have terms, conditions, exclusions, limits and sub limits that you need to be aware of.
These are examples only. Read the PDS and TMD before buying. Claims are assessed individually in accordance with your policy, PDS and Certificate of Insurance.
If you become injured while breaking the law, there are various conditions and exclusions that may apply which means you may not be covered. This could include riding a motorcycle without the required helmet, or while under the influence of drugs or alcohol.
Remember that possession of certain drugs is illegal in Greece. Using drugs or selling them can land you in trouble with the law in Greece.
If you’re injured in an accident while for example, riding a scooter or quad bike and you didn’t add the Motorcycle Pack or Adventure Pack respectively to your Greece travel insurance policy, you’ll likely be responsible for paying your medical and hospital expenses because you did not choose to include cover for that under your policy.
It is important to think about what activities you will be participating in so that you have the right cover for the activities you plan to do in Greece.
If something of yours is stolen while unattended or unsupervised, you may not be able to claim for the stolen item. For example: If you leave your bag with your wallet and passport inside it on the beach while you go for a swim, this will be considered leaving your belongings unattended, in which case you may not be covered.
Make sure you keep your belongings with you at all times or keep them in a secure location.
There are exclusions that apply for regular or routine check-ups or filling regular prescriptions as they are not considered medical emergencies. If you require regular medication, bring enough of what you’ll need for your holiday to Greece before you leave Australia.
Should the Australian Government release a warning on Smartraveller that certain areas in Greece are no longer safe to travel to and you still choose to travel there anyway, there may be exclusions that will apply such as if you do not follow advice in the mass media where a travel advisory risk rating of Do Not Travel was issued after policy purchase.
Known events are serious situations, from natural disasters like earthquakes and tsunamis, to disease outbreaks, which can affect your holiday plans and also the cover on your travel insurance policy for Greece.
If you buy your Greece travel insurance after an event is deemed a known event, the cover on your policy may be affected. You should check for any Travel Alerts that may have been issued for Greece so you know where you stand with regards to the cover that you will have on your Greece travel insurance policy.
Perhaps the weather was too hot for your liking, the Greek islands were too crowded, or your accommodation didn’t live up to the pictures online. Whatever the reason you’re unhappy with how your trip to Greece has shaped up, your travel insurance policy for Greece is not intended to compensate you because you didn’t enjoy your time there.
As each individual's circumstances are different, we will assess each claim on a case by case basis and in accordance with your specific circumstances, policy terms and Certificate of Insurance.
