Ensure your passport is valid for at least 3 months beyond your departure date and check if you need a visa for Greece.  Australian citizens and eligible residents can enter Greece without a visa for stays up to 90 days within a 180-day period as Greece is part of the Schengen area. Entry and visa requirements for Greece may change depending on the nature and duration of your trip.

Greece offers incredible diversity from the cosmopolitan islands of Mykonos and Santorini to the historical treasures of Athens and Delphi. Research whether you want to explore ancient ruins, relax on pristine beaches, or experience traditional charming villages in rural areas. Consider island hopping to experience multiple popular islands during your visit.

From exploring archaeology sites to enjoying water sports and hiking, Greece offers unique experiences for everyone. Whether you're interested in cruising, discovering ancient ruins, or enjoying popular destinations like the Greek islands, check if your planned activities are covered under your travel insurance policy.

Greece's Mediterranean climate features hot, dry summers and mild, wet winters. Summer temperatures can exceed 30°C, particularly in July and August, while winter temperatures average 10-15°C in coastal areas. Pack lightweight, breathable clothing for summer visits, sun protection, comfortable walking shoes for exploring archaeological sites, and layers for cooler evenings or winter travel.

Fast Cover offers a wide range of policies for Australian travellers that can be customised depending on the travellers' individual needs, so you can make the most of your trip to Greece.

Organise your travel documents before you depart for your trip.
