Travel Insurance for Greece

Greece is a perfect destination to take a break from your hectic lifestyle. From ancient Athens to romantic Santorini and lively Mykonos, there is a lot to explore. Imagine starting your morning walk through the ancient ruins and relaxing by the Aegean Sea in the afternoon. Doesn’t it sound like a dream vacation?

But wait, there is more. If you are looking for gastronomic delights, grilled seafood and local cuisine are something that make visiting Greece worth it. And to ensure your dream vacation stays stress-free, you’ll need travel insurance. It adds a layer of ease and confidence, ensuring that even if something goes wrong during your trip, you remain financially secure. For example, if you get seasick while island-hopping and need to visit the clinic, travel insurance will help cover the cost of medication and consultation.

With IndusInd Greece travel insurance, you can always count on us to handle any trip emergencies promptly, so your vacation continues without any interruptions. The IndusInd Insurance app makes accessing our services super easy too! You can file claims, contact our 24/7 helpline and manage your travel insurance policy all from your phone.

Benefits of Buying Greece Travel Insurance

Cashless Medical Coverage

What if Moussaka, creamy tzatziki, or souvlaki/gyros do not agree with your stomach? Or what if a pre-existing condition troubles you just before you go for a hike on Mount Olympus? Don’t worry. With us, you can receive treatment of up to USD 500,000* (and up to USD 500* for emergency dental treatment) at certified hospitals in Greece without paying anything upfront.

24/7 Emergency Cash Support

What if, at one of the beach clubs in Mykonos, you find that your wallet has gone missing once you get back? Without access to cash or your cards, your entire trip could be disrupted. And that’s where we can help. To help you manage food, transport, and accommodation, we offer emergency cash of up to USD 300. All you need to do is inform us via our 24/7 assistance help desk.

Flight Delays & Connecting Flights

During peak seasons, international airports in Greece, especially Athens International Airport, can get busy. The result? Your flight can face delays. In such scenarios, we offer financial support of up to USD 60 per day*, provided the delay is over 12 hours. This coverage also comes in handy if your connecting flight from Greece is rescheduled unexpectedly.

Lost Baggage Support

Nothing can be worse than landing in Greece only to know that your luggage is delayed. But instead of worrying, call us, and we will provide you with up to USD 100* for checked baggage delays of 12 hours or more. If the airline has misplaced your luggage, you can get up to USD 1,500* in financial assistance to help you buy necessities like clothes and toiletries.

Personal Liability

Greece, during peak tourism, becomes traffic-heavy. If you have rented a car to drive and accidentally hit someone or damage their property, we have your back. With IndusInd travel insurance in Greece, you get up to USD 200,000* to deal with such legal liabilities.

Loss of Passport

Sometimes, when hopping from one ferry to another or switching taxis, you might misplace your passport. And if you do not take any action immediately, you might find yourself in legal trouble. This is where we support you by offering up to USD 300* for passport replacement.

Types of Visas for Greece

Depending on the purpose of your visit and the duration of your stay in Greece, you can apply for any of the following visas:

Tourist Visa

If you are travelling to Greece for tourism, leisure, or family visits, you need to apply for a short-stay Schengen tourist visa. With this, you are allowed to stay in Greece for up to 90 days within 180 days. The standard fee to get a tourist visa is €80 for adults, while children under six are exempt.

Work Visa

If you want to live and work legally in Greece, you need to apply for a work visa. To obtain one, you must first have a valid job offer from an employer in Greece and receive an employment contract approved by the Greek Ministry of Labour. After arriving in Greece, you must register with the local authorities.

Transit Visa

This visa is meant for passengers changing flights at a Greek airport while travelling to a non-Schengen destination. However, Indian citizens do not need a transit visa if they hold a valid visa or residence permit issued by a Schengen state, an EU/EEA member state, Canada, Japan, or the USA, or if they are family members of EU/EEA/Swiss nationals.

Student Visa

If you want to study in Greece, apply for a student visa (National Visa Type D). Issued for 1 year, you must renew it annually if your studies continue. To get a student visa, provide proof of sufficient funds (around €6,000 per year), valid health insurance, and meet academic and language requirements. After you arrive in Greece, apply for a residence permit within the first year, which is renewable annually.

Family Reunification Visa

You can apply for this visa if you are flying to Greece to reunite with a family member who is either a Greek citizen or a third-country national holding a valid residence permit. The sponsoring relative must have legally resided in Greece for at least 2 consecutive years. The visa is typically issued for 3 months to 1 year, after which you can apply for a residence permit.

The journey of purchasing Travel insurance from Reliance Insurance (now IndusInd Insurance) felt effortless and user-friendly. I felt that my protection needs were well addressed with this policy. No complementary product was necessary for me at this stage. I found the entire process trustworthy and efficient.

I was going on a simple holiday and wanted basic cover without unnecessary additions. I only paid for my exact travel dates, and the coverage level felt right for where I was travelling.

For my Europe trip, I mainly wanted medical cover. I could see the hospital and emergency details clearly, so I did not have to overthink while choosing the plan.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Is Greece travel insurance mandatory?

Yes. Since Greece falls under the Schengen countries list, to obtain a Schengen visa, you must have travel medical insurance that covers hospitalisation and medical emergencies for a minimum amount of €30,000. The medical component of the policy also pays for medical evacuation and repatriation of remains.

What are some key tips to remember when travelling to Greece?

When flying to Greece, consider the following tips: Make sure your passport is valid for at least six months beyond your planned departure date. Consider car hire for remote areas where buses are sparse. Don’t rush island hopping; two or three islands are generally enough for one trip. Arrive early at major ruins like the Acropolis to avoid midday heat and crowds. Do try local cuisine, such as moussaka, souvlaki, gyros, fresh fish, and Greek salads. Learn some basic Greek phrases, such as ‘efharisto’ (thank you) and ‘nai’ (yes).

What essentials should one pack for travelling to Greece?

When travelling to Greece: Carry light, breathable clothes as summers are hot, along with a light jacket or shawl for evenings and visits to churches or monasteries. If your itinerary includes ancient sites and cobbled streets, carry comfortable walking shoes. Pack sun protection like sunscreen, sunglasses, and a hat, as the sun can be strong. Carrying a reusable water bottle is handy, especially while sightseeing. Bring a universal travel adaptor, a power bank, and basic medicines with prescriptions if needed. Swimwear and quick-dry towels are useful for beaches and islands.

What are some ways to save money when travelling to Greece?

To save money, Travel during the shoulder season to enjoy lower flight and hotel prices. Book ferries and accommodation early, especially for popular islands. Use public transport like buses and metros instead of taxis, as they are reliable and affordable. Stay in family-run guesthouses or apartments, which are often cheaper than large hotels. Carry a refillable water bottle, as bottled water costs add up. Buy combined tickets for archaeological sites to reduce entry fees.

Do I need an international driving licence to drive in Greece?

Yes, you will need an International Driving Permit (IDP) along with your valid Indian driving licence to legally drive in Greece. You must apply for the IDP in India before travelling, and it is valid for one year. When driving, you must be at least 18 years old and follow Greek traffic rules, such as right-hand driving and speed limits of 50 km/h in cities and up to 130 km/h on highways.

Can I use an Indian SIM card in Greece?

Most Indian telecom providers like Jio, Airtel, and Vi offer international roaming packs that work in Greece. However, daily costs can vary from ₹500 to ₹1,000, depending on the plan. You may also consider pay-as-you-go rates for calls, SMS, and data, but these cost more. For cheaper connectivity, tourists are advised to buy a local Greek SIM (Cosmote, Vodafone, or Nova) or an eSIM.

What are the new entry rules for Greece?

Starting in late 2026, if someone is flying to Greece for short stays of up to 90 days for tourism, business, or transit, they must follow the European Travel Information and Authorisation System (ETIAS) requirements. As per this, travellers from visa-exempt countries must obtain online authorisation before entry. This new rule is linked to the EU’s Entry-Exit System.

What safety precautions should one follow when travelling to Greece?

When travelling to Greece, keep an eye on your belongings in crowded areas like metro stations, tourist attractions, and ferries, as pickpocketing can occur. Avoid displaying expensive items and keep passports and cash in a secure money belt or hotel safe. Follow local laws and respect rules at archaeological sites and religious places.

Can I use Indian debit or credit cards in Greece?

Yes, you can use Indian debit and credit cards, provided they are issued on international networks like Visa or Mastercard. However, RuPay cards are not accepted internationally. When carrying such cards, it is important to enable international usage before departure and be aware of foreign transaction fees. Since ATM withdrawals using such cards levy withdrawal fees, use them for direct payments.

Is Indian food easily available?

Yes, you can easily find Indian food in Greece. Some of the restaurants you can explore include Indian Haveli in Athens, Namaste Indian Restaurant in Thessaloniki, and Royal Curry House in Crete.
