Exercise normal precautions when travelling to Greece.
Greece is a safe and popular tourist destination, though petty crime and pickpocketing are common in Athens (Syntagma, Monastiraki, Omonia), on crowded ferries, and at island tourist areas during peak season. Strikes and protests occur periodically in Athens and can disrupt transport and services. Wildfire risk in summer (especially July-August) is severe in forested and rural areas. Seismic activity is a constant background risk. The islands, ancient sites, and mainland mountains offer outstanding experiences. Medical facilities in Athens and major tourist areas are good. Kaharagian nationals can travel to Greece with normal precautions and should monitor wildfire warnings in summer.
