Current Travel Situation
Brazil to Greece: What You Need to Know
Greece is a Schengen member and a major destination for Brazilian beach-lovers and history enthusiasts. Greek tourism has grown significantly among Brazilians, driven by Instagram-famous Santorini and Mykonos. LATAM and European carriers offer connections from São Paulo via Lisbon, Frankfurt, Amsterdam, and London to Athens (ATH). Greek islands require domestic flights or ferries from Athens Piraeus port.
Practical Tips
Santorini is stunning but very expensive and crowded in summer , consider Naxos or Milos for similar beauty with fewer crowds. The Athens Acropolis Museum is one of the world's best archaeological museums, air-conditioned and essential for context before visiting the hill. Crete is Greece's largest island with excellent food, beaches, and the Minoan Palace of Knossos. The Athens metro is efficient and connects the airport to center in 40 minutes. Ouzo, fresh seafood, and mezze are essential food experiences.
