Entry conditions

  • The Schengen 90/180-day rule applies across the entire zone, not just Greece

Tips for Canada travelers

  • Track your Schengen days carefully, especially if island-hopping between Greece and other Schengen countries by ferry
  • Keep proof of accommodation and return travel accessible for border checks
  • Watch for the EU's ETIAS travel authorization, which will eventually require online pre-registration before visa-free entry
