Who Needs Travel Insurance for Greece
Greece, one of the oldest and most historically significant countries in Europe, is a popular choice for UK tourists seeking both sun and culture. From the old, charming streets of capital Athens to the picture-perfect white houses of Santorini, Greece offers the best of Southern Europe. However, like any country, Greece is not without risks which means it is a great idea to have travel insurance to give you coverage that is there for you – every step of your journey. What does this mean for you? It means you can soak up the Greek sun and admire the storied culture of Greece with a little more peace of mind.
Like many European countries, Greece has a high standard of healthcare. Although UK travellers are likely not expecting medical emergencies during their Greek holiday, they can take comfort in knowing Greece has a reliable healthcare system. Accessing it, however, is not free so it is important for UK tourists to know what they need to do before they travel. This is particularly important if you have preexisting medical conditions. The Global Health Insurance Card (also known as the GHIC) can provide access to emergency state healthcare at a lower cost, which should give UK visitors some peace of mind. However, it does not cover all expenses. If you did want to return to the UK for any medical assistance, repatriation would not be covered so this would be a huge out-of-pocket expense. The good news is that if you have Holiday Insurance for Greece, you will be in a much better situation. This insurance covers: emergency medical treatment, repatriation, in addition to things like helicopter mountain rescues, if you are injured whilst hiking. While some of these things may seem unlikely to happen on your Greek adventure, it’s always better to be prepared just in case. The price of not being prepared can put a huge damper on your trip.
If you love nature, like a lot of UK travellers, you will find yourself spoilt for choice on your Greek holiday. With picturesque beaches and pretty mountains, you will find your camera roll quickly filling up with snapshots of this sunny country. In addition, adventurers are in for a real treat with a range of activities on offer; think hiking and swimming or sailing in the Aegean Sea. If you do decide to partake in these awesome activities, though, it is important to make sure your travel insurance covers this. If you want a policy that offers a variety of add-ons for a plethora of sports, Gigasure can help. Best of all? You can Boost your policy at the tap of a button through our app. No need for long wait times glued to the phone, we have made it a digital-first experience.
Greece is generally a safe and peaceful travel destination, but that does not mean it is completely free from crime. Most incidents tend to involve petty theft, such as pickpocketing, particularly in busy tourist areas like Athens, Thessaloniki, and popular islands such as Santorini and Mykonos. When visiting these locations, stay aware of your surroundings and place special attention on valuables you may be carrying. It’s always a wise idea to be prepared for any unexpected situations with Greece travel insurance that includes coverage for lost or stolen belongings. Gigasure’s baggage and flight delay Benefits offer added reassurance, stepping in to give you direct assistance should you need it.
Finally, UK tourists looking to explore Greece should also be aware of the risks associated with driving in this gorgeous country. While seeing Greece’s many sights by car is a popular choice, the country has its own specific driving requirements. Be sure to carry essential items such as a reflective vest, warning triangle, and a fire extinguisher to comply with local laws. A first-aid kit and spare bulbs are also recommended. For cyclists, helmets are mandatory for children under 12. While not legally required for adults, wearing a helmet is still strongly advised for safety reasons. Always review your insurance policy before setting off to make sure you're fully protected, so you can enjoy the winding coastal roads of Greece in both peace and style.

Your Go-To Questions about Travel
Insurance for Greece
If you're a UK citizen, the good news is you don’t need a visa to visit Greece for up to 90 days within any 180-day
period. However, time spent in other Schengen Area countries also counts toward this 90-day limit so be aware of
this. For stays longer than 90 days, you'll need to apply for a visa through Greek authorities. Additionally, once the
ETIAS (European Travel Information and Authorisation System) system comes into effect (likely in 2026 but this
might be subject to change), UK travellers will need to apply for authorisation before short stays.
Travel insurance isn't a legal requirement for visiting Greece, so you do not actually need it. Nevertheless, it is
highly recommended and will be incredibly beneficial to UK travellers. Like any trip (even the most well-planned
ones!) there are risks of cancellations, delays, lost belongings, or even medical emergencies. While it’s not pleasant
to think about worst-case scenarios, having travel insurance ensures you won’t be left handling these issues alone.
With coverage in place, you'll have peace of mind knowing that you don’t need to fret over big out-of-pocket expenses. It’s a simple way to make your trip even more enjoyable.
If you're planning an active holiday in Greece, Gigasure’s Travel Insurance has got you covered. Whether you're
wandering through Athens' ancient ruins, soaking up the sun on the beaches of Crete, or hiking the stunning trails
of Santorini, our policies are built to suit your itinerary. You can also customise your coverage with optional extras
like water sports, adventure activities, and more. As a bonus, all this can be done through our app. No long waits,
no elevator music: just a few quick taps and you’re set.
Yes, Gigasure’s Travel Insurance for Greece includes emergency medical evacuation. If you suffer a serious injury or
illness while in Greece and need to be transported to a hospital or repatriated to the UK, we’ll make sure you get
the help you need. This means you won’t have to worry about hefty medical transport bills, so you can focus on
recovery and peace of mind. No tourist visits a country expecting these challenging situations to happen, but they
can and do still occur.
GigaShield is a built-in benefit that provides fast cash compensation if your trip is disrupted by things like flight
delays or lost baggage. With GigaShield Flight Delay and GigaShield Baggage Delay, you’ll get quick, fixed payouts
without needing to submit receipts or deal with lengthy claims processes. It’s one more way Gigasure makes sure
your travels are stress-free, so you can still enjoy your time in Greece even when plans change unexpectedly.
Situations like these are annoying but, with the right travel insurance, they can be manageable and not ruin your
trip.
Yes, Gigasure covers a wide range of pre-existing medical conditions, as long as they are declared during your
application. When applying for your Greece Travel Insurance, make sure to provide details of your medical history.
This helps us tailor your policy to ensure you have the right level of coverage, so please be as honest upfront so
you get the coverage that is best for you.
Greece is indeed covered under Gigasure’s European Travel Insurance. Our policies are tailored specifically for
travel within Europe, offering flexible and affordable options that fit your needs. Whether you’re exploring Athens'
ancient history, enjoying the breathtaking Aegean coast, or island-hopping, our policies are designed to cover you,
rather than offering a one-size-fits-all solution. We believe in policies that are tailored to you.
Definitely! Renting a car and driving around Greece is one of the best ways to experience the country and is a very
popular way to soak up the awesome Greek sights. It allows you to visit smaller towns and potentially even escape
the big tourist hustle and bustle. However, before you get on the road, there are a few important things to keep in
mind:
- Your full UK driving licence
- Passports for all passengers
- Your vehicle’s V5C registration document (if driving your own car)
- Valid motor insurance documents
- Required safety items like a reflective jacket (one per person), a warning triangle, and headlamp beam
deflectors - A UK sticker (if your number plate doesn’t have a UK identifier)
If you're renting a car, Gigasure also offers Car Hire Excess Insurance, so you’ll be covered for any excess charges
and unexpected costs. We believe in reliable insurance, both for your travels and your drives!
Yes, it’s still recommended to get travel insurance even if you have a GHIC or EHIC. These cards allow you to
access state healthcare in Greece at a reduced cost, but that doesn’t mean they cover everything. You’d still be
responsible for emergency repatriation, private medical care, or issues like trip cancellations, lost baggage, or
delays. These costs can be very expensive and can leave you in a tricky situation, which having travel insurance
can help massively with.
