Everything You Need to Know
Pack your bags, love is taking flight!
The airport to fly into is Athens International Airport "Eleftherios Venizelos" (ATH).
You may need a visa depending on your nationality. Greece is part of the Schengen Zone, which means:
Visas are required if you’re traveling from a country that does not have a visa-free agreement with Greece. You’ll need to apply for a Schengen Visa before your trip. This includes guests with a Lebanese, Kuwaiti, Jordanian, Saudi, Egyptian passport, and more.
No visa required for stays up to 90 days if you're traveling from the U.S., Canada, U.K., Australia, and most European and Schengen-associated countries. Just bring your passport, and you’re good to go!
Please double check if you need a visa! We highly recommend getting this done as soon as possible to ensure you get your visa on time.
