What is Greece Travel Insurance, and why do you need it?
Greece Travel Insurance protects you from unexpected costs while travelling. From accidents and emergencies to lost luggage, you won’t be out of pocket should a mishap occur.
Greece is a top destination for Brits, but unfortunately, that means there are often accidents for British tourists. Make sure that you’re protected against medical emergencies, even if you have a pre-existing medical condition. We’ll also cover you for cancelled holidays2 and travel delays.
Why do you need to be protected while on holiday in Greece
- Greece is an incredibly popular holiday spot for Brits, with 4.1m Brits holidaying in Greece in 2023.
- Greece has the second-highest number of hospitalisations for British nationals, following Spain.
- Heatwaves are becoming more common and cause disruption across Europe. In Greece, heatwaves have led to the closure of major landmarks. Hotter weather has also increased health risks, including several tourist deaths. Wildfires even meant tens of thousands of British nationals were left stranded in Greece in 2023.
Getting the right Travel Insurance policy is the key to travelling with peace of mind. At AllClear, we can cover: All medical conditions. All ages. All destinations. 98% of our customers would recommend us to family and friends, so you’re in good hands3.

“Brilliant sunshine, amazing food and a rich cultural history. It’s easy to see why so many Brits love holidaying in Greece. But even relaxing on a Greek island can present risks.

What our customers say
A Very Positive Experience!
“I was really anxious about organising single trip holiday insurance for my one week holiday in Greece because I am 68 and waiting on a hip replacement and gallbladder removal in the near future (I hope!) I thought that maybe All Clear wouldn’t be able to cover me. However, their representative, Sharon, made the whole experience easy to understand and was extremely patient answering all of my questions! I am very happy with my holiday insurance experience and feel confident about travelling now.”

Frequently Asked Questions on Greece Travel Insurance
Is Greece in Europe for Travel Insurance?
Yes, Greece is considered part of Europe for Travel Insurance purposes. Greece is included in European Travel Insurance cover. When purchasing a Single-trip policy for Greece, you can simply declare Greece as the destination. There’s no need to specify a particular Greek island or city. If you’re buying an Annual Multi-trip policy, a Europe policy will cover Greece.
Do you need Travel Insurance for Greece?
Travel Insurance is not a legal requirement to be able to enter Greece. However, the UK Government and the NHS recommend that all British nationals have Travel Insurance with medical cover if they plan to leave the country. Without proper Travel Insurance, you’ll be liable for any emergency medical costs incurred abroad. This includes costs for air ambulances, any treatments, or ongoing treatments.
How much does Travel Insurance for Greece cost?
The price of each Travel Insurance policy is based on several different factors. This includes your age, your medical history, your destination, and the length of your trip. Each of these can vary for each individual and trip, so the costs of Travel Insurance will vary too.
Does the GHIC cover Greece?
Yes, the Global Health Insurance Card (GHIC) does cover Greece. It covers medically necessary state-provided healthcare during temporary stays in Greece.
However, there are some limitations for the GHIC you should be aware of.
- It may not cover all health costs, and does not cover repatriation expenses.
- It covers medically necessary state-provided healthcare during temporary stays in Greece. If you live in Greece as a British expat, you’ll need to organise medical cover.
- For cruises visiting Greek islands, the GHIC cannot be used onboard the ship. It will also not cover the cost if you need to be airlifted to the mainland.
Do the Greek Isles class as Greece for Travel Insurance?
Yes, all Greek Islands are classed as Greece for Travel Insurance. No matter which Greek island you visit, if you have selected Greece as your area of cover, you will be covered while there. This applies even if you’re visiting smaller islands, such as Koufonisia, Amorgos or Milos.
Is healthcare free for tourists in Greece?
Emergency care in public hospitals is generally provided without charge in Greece. General healthcare, meanwhile, is not entirely free for tourists. However, relying solely on free emergency care is risky, as it doesn’t cover all potential medical needs during your trip. Travel insurance provides more comprehensive protection and peace of mind.
