New Schengen entry requirements

From October 2025, the new EU Entry/Exit System (EES) started for all non-EU nationals, including British nationals, travelling in or out of the Schengen area. The Schengen area is made up of 29 European countries, 25 of which are EU Member States. The EES is a digital border system which registers non-EU visitors travelling into the Schengen area instead of stamping their passports.

You will need to have your fingerprints and your photo taken when entering the Schengen area. If you enter the Schengen area through Dover, Eurotunnel at Folkestone or St Pancras International, your fingerprints and photo will be taken before you leave the UK. You will also need to provide either your fingerprint or photo on exit.

You may experience longer queues at borders when the new system starts.

For further information please click the following link. https://www.gov.uk/guidance/eu-entryexit-system

Passport Validity

To enter Europe, your passport must have:

a date of issue less than 10 years before the date you arrive – if you renewed your passport before 1 October 2018, it may have a date of issue that is more than 10 years ago
an expiry date at least 3 months after the day you plan to leave
at least one blank page for stamping

Direct flights are available to mainland Greece and also to many of the country's islands.

The Greek Government has introduced the Climate Resilience Tax, payable locally upon check-out by the customer. This tax does not form part of your holiday package as we are not able to collect this at time of booking.

4 star hotels – EURO 7 per room per night
5 star hotels – EURO 15 per room per night(as of 1 January 2025 )

Travel Tips & Advice for Greece

Greece Activities

One thing's for sure - you'll never be bored on a holiday to Greece! For anyone up on their ancient Greek history it should come as no surprise that Greece is as much a party destination as it is place of archeology, ancient ruins, and pretty fishing villages. Hedonism is its blood and the Greeks like to party as much as their forebears did.

Be sure to head to Athens, Mykonos, Kos, Ios and Malia in Crete if looking for nightlife. Mykonos is by the far the most glamorous of the lot with a St Tropez vibe combined with a laid back island attitude.

Greece Food & Drink

Greece is as famous for its food and drink as it is for its ancient ruins and bucolic beaches. From salty feta, local olives, and fresh fish to its famous yoghurt and exceptional honey, Greece is a cornucopia of fresh produce, locally sourced ingredients, and hearty, delicious fare. Lamb moussaka is a popular dish across the country, while the island way of life lends itself to delicious seafood and fish dishes across countless top Greek resorts. Of course, Kalamata on the mainland is home to the world’s best olives.

Greece Attractions

This country has so many great places to visit you’ll be desperate to go back as soon as you’ve made it home from your Greek holiday. Santorini’s famous blue domed buildings stand sentry over the deep blue of the Aegean Sea - an iconic sight that makes for truly stunning holiday snaps.

Elsewhere, Adelphi, the Acropolis and the Parthenon hint at what life was like for the ancient Greeks. The Heraklion Archaeological Museum is one of the country’s top sights, while Samaria Gorge in Crete is a hiker’s dream. If it’s rest and relaxation you’re after on your perfect holiday to Greece, simply lap up the sun on Preveli Beach.
