If you want to visit Greece for a longer period than 90 days, you'll need a Schengen visa and travel medical insurance for Greece.
What's a Schengen visa and why do you need it for longer trips? Greece is part of Europe's Schengen Zone, which allows visa-free travel for Americans staying for up to 90 days. If you're planning to vacation within the Schengen Zone for more than 90 days, you'll need to apply for a Schengen visa before you leave home.
To be eligible for a Schengen visa, you must have travel medical insurance for Greece with at least €30,000 (it's around the same amount in U.S. dollars) coverage for emergency medical expenses and evacuation. Your travel medical insurance also must be valid in all Schengen countries — not just Greece, even if that's the only country you're going to.
Think you'll need a Schengen visa and travel medical insurance for Greece? Our Ultimate plan can offer coverage for trips up to 180 days — and it meets the Schengen visa requirements. With Ultimate, you'll have $250,000 emergency medical coverage ($50,000 for NH residents) and $1,000,000 emergency medical evacuation and repatriation coverage — well over the €30,000 minimum requirement for a Schengen visa.
For more information on the Schengen visa, check out the U.S. Department of State's page for travel to the Schengen area.
Even if you're traveling with a tour group, things can still go sideways. Flights get delayed, luggage goes missing, or you might need a last-minute doctor visit — even with the best-planned itinerary.
That's where travel insurance can step in! Whether your group takes an unexpected detour or you run into a snag yourself, having travel insurance in Greece means you can tackle these surprises without letting them ruin your plans. With the right protection, you'll be free to enjoy all the incredible moments Greece has to offer — from cruising the Aegean to exploring ancient ruins — without sweating the "what-ifs."
While Greece can be a safe and welcoming destination, staying informed about any travel alerts can help you plan ahead.
Here are some ways to check Greece travel alerts:
Yes, you can! From exploring the sun-kissed roads of the Apollo Coast to admiring the cliffs of Meteora, our rental car damage upgrade can help protect your finances behind the wheel. If an accidental collision, theft, fire, or other eligible event damages your rental car, our road trip travel insurance may help reimburse (potentially pricey) fees from the rental company.
Yes, you can with Travelex! All our plans offer cruise coverage, so you can soak up the magic of the Mediterranean with back-up for your finances. Whether your cruise is delayed in Corfu, you miss a port stop in Kefalonia, or you need an emergency medical evacuation from the ship near Rhodes, we can help.

Our base plans offer coverage for certain adventure activities like hiking the peaks of Mount Olympus, snorkeling the Blue Caves in Zakynthos, or surfing in Tinos.
Planning more adrenaline-pumping fun like bungee jumping or scuba diving deeper than 75 feet? You can add our adventure activities upgrade to your policy for coverage for some of the more thrilling activities our base plans don't cover.
Yes, you can. We know life happens, and sometimes travel plans take a detour. Our Ultimate, Advantage, and Essential plans may reimburse trip cancellations for eligible reasons like sudden illnesses or unexpected natural disasters.
If you're after even more flexibility (just in case), check out our cancel for any reason upgrade*, which is available with our Ultimate plan. It lets you cancel for — you guessed it — any reason up to two days before departing and recover up to 75% of your insured trip cost.
Important: You're only eligible for our cancel for any reason* coverage if you purchase the upgrade with the Ultimate plan within 21 days of your first trip payment and at least 31 days before your departure. Plus, you must insure all your prepaid, nonrefundable trip costs, and the total cost of your trip must be $10,000 or less.
*Cancel for any fortuitous reason for NY residents.
If you're hopping from Greece to other fantastic spots like Turkey, Italy, or Croatia, we can have your back for the whole adventure, as long as you're not visiting any OFAC-sanctioned location or one of our blocked destinations.
When you get a travel insurance quote, the destination you choose should be the country where you'll spend the most time. For example, if you're soaking up five days on the Greek islands and capping it off with a couple of days in Italy, just put Greece as your main destination. Exploring Greece as part of a multi-stop European trip? You can also select "Europe" as your destination.
It's best to buy travel insurance for your Greece trip as soon as you've booked your flights and accommodations. Purchasing early ensures you get the most value from your plan — especially if you want trip cancellation benefits, which only apply to events that happen after your coverage is in place.
If you're traveling during Greece's peak summer season (June through August), it's a good idea to secure your plan early to account for potential travel disruptions, like flight delays or cancellations because of high demand.
Buying early also gives you time to review your coverage, consider optional upgrades — like rental car protection for exploring the islands or adventure activities for hiking — and make sure your plan aligns with your Greece itinerary.
Yes, it can, as long as you're eligible for coverage with our pre-existing condition exclusion waiver, available with our Ultimate plan.
To qualify, you must:
If you meet these criteria, the waiver may allow coverage for certain pre-existing conditions — helping you travel to Greece with added protection and support.
