Current Travel Situation
Colombia to Greece: What You Need to Know
Greece is a Schengen Area member, granting Colombian citizens visa-free access for tourism, business, and family visits of up to 90 days within any 180-day rolling period. This allowance is shared across all 26 Schengen countries combined.
Athens and Thessaloniki are the main international airports, with connecting flights from Latin America typically routing through other European hubs. Greece's peak tourist season runs from June to September, when the islands are most crowded and accommodation most expensive.
ETIAS authorization, expected to launch in 2026, will apply to Greece as a Schengen member. Colombians will need to complete a brief online process before travel once the system is active.
Practical Tips
Ferry travel between Greek islands is a highlight of any trip: purchase tickets in advance during peak summer months as ferries sell out quickly. Track your Schengen days carefully if combining Greece with other European countries. Athens' Acropolis is best visited early morning to avoid heat and crowds.
