Arrival in Greece by car<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

In this article, we report on our own experiences during the journey. As an EU citizen, you do not need a visa to enter Hellas. Entering Greece is uncomplicated<\/strong> at any time with an identity card or passport. Since 2024, however, a normal passport or identity card has been required for children.<\/p>\n

For excursions to non-EU countries (e.g. Albania, Turkey) you may have to show your passport. A look at the website of the Federal Foreign Office helps here. If you are staying in Greece for more than 6 months, you will need to register with the local authorities.<\/p>\n

#1 Greece Arrival by plane<\/h2>\n

Most holidaymakers reach Greece by plane<\/strong>. In recent years, more and more international airlines have added Greece<\/a> as a popular holiday destination. Almost all major European charter companies now offer at least one, if not several Greek destinations.<\/p>\n

Most direct flights to Greece<\/a> currently depart from major airports across Europe, like Berlin, London, Paris, Madrid or Rome. In total, travellers can choose from 18 Greek destinations<\/strong> on the mainland and islands.<\/p>\n

Among them are the cities Athens<\/a> and Thessaloniki<\/a> on the mainland. Via the airports of these two cities, you can reach more Greek destinations<\/strong> with a short stopover. Kavala (Macedonia), Volos (Thessaly), Patras and Kalamata (both Peloponnese<\/a>) are also occasionally served in summer.<\/p>\n

For many travelers, the Greek islands are particularly popular. However, you should keep in mind that of the almost 3,000 islands, not even 150 are inhabited. Only 27 islands have an airport<\/strong>. The largest Greek island of Crete even has three airports. Below, we give you an overview of the islands with their own airport:<\/p>\n
