Current Travel Situation

Spain to Greece: What You Need to Know

Greece attracts over 30 million tourists annually. Spanish visitors flock to the Greek islands (Santorini, Mykonos, Rhodes, Crete) and the mainland (Athens, Thessaloniki, Meteora) year-round.

How to Get There

Consider exploring lesser-known islands (Naxos, Paros, Hydra) as alternatives to crowded Santorini and Mykonos. Island hopping by ferry is a classic Greek experience.

Money & Banking

Greece uses the euro. Tipping is appreciated (5-10% at restaurants). Tourist areas are well equipped with ATMs. Some island tavernas prefer cash. Ferry bookings should be made in advance in summer.

Practical Tips

Greece is best visited from May to October for beach destinations, and year-round for Athens and cultural sites. Direct flights from Madrid, Barcelona, and other Spanish cities serve Athens, Thessaloniki, and the major islands.
