Current Travel Situation

Samoa to Greece: What You Need to Know

Greece is a Schengen member and allows Samoan passport holders to enter without a visa for short stays. The Greek islands, Athens, Santorini, Mykonos, and Crete are globally renowned destinations. The 90-day Schengen limit applies collectively to all member states visited within a 180-day rolling period.

How to Get There

Greece connects by ferry to Italy and Turkey. Air connections from Athens reach most major European cities. The Schengen visa allows free movement to all member states. Island-hopping by ferry is a popular way to explore the Greek archipelago.

Money & Banking

Greece uses the Euro (EUR). ATMs are widely available but stock can be limited on smaller islands. Credit cards are accepted in tourist areas but cash is preferred in many local businesses. Carry some euros for smaller transactions. Airport exchange rates are higher than ATM rates.

Practical Tips

1. Summer in Greece is peak season; book accommodation and ferry tickets months in advance.
2. The 90-day Schengen limit applies across all member states.
3. Ferry services connect the Greek islands and also run to Italy and Turkey.
4. Many smaller tavernas and shops in Greece prefer cash.
5. The Athens metro connects the airport to the city center efficiently.
