Current Travel Situation
Vanuatu to Greece: What You Need to Know
Greece is one of Europe most popular tourist destinations, famous for its ancient history, stunning islands, and Mediterranean cuisine. The Greek Islands (Santorini, Mykonos, Crete, Rhodes) attract millions of visitors each year. Vanuatu citizens enjoy visa-free access under Schengen arrangements.
How to Get There
Greece borders Bulgaria, North Macedonia, Albania, and Turkey. Bulgaria is an EU member but not yet full Schengen. Turkey requires a visa for Vanuatu citizens and does not share the Schengen allowance.
Money & Banking
Greece uses the Euro (EUR). Cards are widely accepted in tourist areas. Cash is preferred on some smaller islands and in local tavernas. ATMs are available on all main islands and in Athens.
Practical Tips
Book Greek island accommodation and ferry tickets well in advance for summer (July-August). Athens is a great base for exploring ancient sites (Acropolis, Parthenon). Island-hopping by ferry is the classic Greek holiday experience. The best island season is May-June and September-October for fewer crowds and lower prices.
