Frequently asked questions on Greece travel insurance

Is Greece in Europe for travel insurance?

Do you need travel insurance for Greece?

Travel insurance is not required to enter the country of Greece, but the UK Government recommends that all British nationals get the required level of travel insurance before they leave the country. Remember that you’ll be liable for any costs incurred if you have a medical emergency abroad and don’t have travel insurance. This could be for things like ambulances, medical repatriation, or ongoing treatments.

The cost of travel insurance is based on multiple factors, including:

  • Your age
  • Your medical history
  • Your destination
  • The length of your trip

Each of these can vary from person to person, which means the cost of travel insurance for Greece will also vary.

Do the Greek Isles class as Greece for travel insurance?

Yes, the Greek Isles are still classed as Greece for your travel insurance policy. If you’re visiting any of the islands, you should select Greece as your area of cover when getting your travel insurance quote. This still applies even if you’re visiting the smaller islands, such as Koufonisia, Amorgos or Milos.

Do UK citizens get free healthcare in Greece?

If you have a GHIC (Global Health Insurance Card),you’re entitled to any necessary or emergency state-provided medical treatments during your trip. Any treatment you receive will be on the same terms as Greek nationals.

You will still need travel insurance if you visit Greece. This is because the GHIC does not cover all health-related costs. For example, it does not cover medical repatriation, ongoing medical treatment, or non-urgent treatment
