Current Travel Situation
Luxembourg to Greece: What You Need to Know
Greece, a Mediterranean EU and Schengen member of 10.7 million people, is among Europe's top tourism destinations with over 30 million visitors annually. It offers 16,000km of coastline, more than 200 inhabited islands, ancient ruins (the Acropolis, Delphi, Olympia, Knossos), Byzantine monasteries (Mount Athos, Meteora), and some of the Mediterranean's best beaches. The country has a strong connection to Luxembourg through its guest worker history: large Greek communities settled in Luxembourg during the 1960s-70s.
How to Get There
Athens is roughly 3 hours by direct flight from Luxembourg. Many Greek islands have direct summer charter flights from Luxembourg and nearby airports. Athens to Santorini is 45 minutes by plane or 4-9 hours by ferry.
Money & Banking
Greece uses the euro (EUR). Greece is one of Europe's more affordable Schengen destinations: taverna meals EUR 10-20, island accommodation EUR 60-180/night (dramatically more in peak season on Santorini/Mykonos). Eating at local tavernas rather than tourist-facing restaurants saves significantly.
Practical Tips
Athens merits 2-3 days: the Acropolis and Parthenon, the New Acropolis Museum, the Plaka and Monastiraki neighborhoods, and the National Archaeological Museum. Santorini is the classic island (blue-domed churches, volcanic caldera views) but Crete (largest island, Minoan ruins at Knossos, Samaria Gorge hike), Rhodes (medieval walled city), and Corfu (Venetian and British architecture) offer more depth. Thessaloniki is northern Greece's vibrant second city.
