Current Travel Situation

Moldova to Greece: What You Need to Know

Greece joined the Schengen Area in 2000 and has been covered by Moldova's visa-free access since 2014. The country is a top holiday destination for Eastern Europeans, including Moldovans, due to its warm climate, beaches, and relatively affordable costs compared to Western Europe.

Greece and Moldova have maintained diplomatic relations and share a common Eastern Orthodox Christian heritage, which resonates culturally with many Moldovan travellers. Greek islands such as Corfu, Rhodes, and Mykonos are accessible through regular charter flights from Chisinau.

Moldova's EU candidate status reinforces the positive trajectory of Moldovan-EU relations, of which Greece is a member state.

Practical Tips

Book flights and accommodation early for summer Greek island trips as demand is very high. Credit cards are widely accepted but carry some cash for smaller establishments and island markets. Rhodes and Corfu have direct charter flights from Chisinau during summer season. Travel insurance with medical cover is recommended.
