Greece Welcomes the World: Visa-Free Entry for 188 Countries

Greece is set to become even more accessible to global travellers with the introduction of visa-free entry for citizens of 188 countries.

This move is expected to significantly boost tourism to the Mediterranean nation, known for its stunning islands, rich history, and warm hospitality.

With its extensive coastline, diverse landscapes, and excellent transportation infrastructure, Greece offers a wealth of experiences for visitors. From exploring ancient ruins to relaxing on pristine beaches, there’s something to cater to every traveller’s taste.

The decision to open its doors to more visitors aligns with Greece’s strategic focus on tourism as a key economic driver. By simplifying the entry process, the country aims to attract a wider range of travellers, including independent backpackers, families, and luxury tourists.
