Birthplace of Western civilization. Ancient ruins, whitewashed Santorini, crystal-clear islands, and Mediterranean cuisine at its finest.
Visa-free for Japanese passport holders (up to 90 days in Schengen area).
Greek is official. English widely spoken in tourism and among younger people. Island tourism areas are very English-friendly.
Ferries essential for island-hopping (book in advance for peak season). Athens Metro. Domestic flights. KTEL buses. Car rental popular on larger islands.
Cards increasingly accepted. Cash still needed on smaller islands and at tavernas. ATMs available. Euro zone. Tipping 5-10% appreciated.
Mediterranean climate (hot dry summers, mild winters). Tap water safe on mainland, questionable on some islands. Siesta tradition. Peak season July-August is crowded.
