How to Reach:
There are numerous India to Athens flights that are operating frequently from the major cities like Mumbai, Delhi, Bangalore, Chennai, and more. The fastest Mumbai to Athens flight is flown by Turkish Airlines, taking the duration of 10 hours. However, most Mumbai to Athens or Delhi to Athens flights make a stopover at various European cities like Istanbul, Doha, Abu Dhabi or Dubai, or Zurich or Budapest in Europe. Depending on the number of stops, a flight can take up to 32 hours to reach Athens.
As you would for other European destinations, come prepared with a travel adapter, and depending on your appliance, a voltage converter. Greece operates on a 230v standard voltage and 50Hz standard frequency and utilizes Type C “Europlug” and Type F “Schuko” two round-prong outlets.
Hair dryers are standard in hotels in Athens and more popular destinations, but if you’re heading to the islands, check in with your hotel before you depart, as some amenities aren’t as ubiquitous as they are on the mainland.
Unlike some countries with standard tipping practices and rates, Greece has a variety of customs around gratuity. In restaurants, tipping is expected (particularly from tourists); expect to leave at least 5% and as much as 10% if you received great service. Make sure to check the bill, though: some restaurants round up, adding on a service charge, while others may tack on a small “cover charge” for bread and water.
Aim to leave tips for waiters in cash, as it’s common for servers to not receive gratuities left on credit card transactions. Tips are also generally expected by taxi drivers, tour guides, and hotel staff: think €1 per bag for porters, €1 per day for housekeepers, and a few Euros for the concierge if you get excellent service
Tap water is safe to drink on the mainland in larger cities like Athens and Thessaloniki, but stick to bottled water if you’re in a smaller town off the beaten track or if you’re exploring the islands.
Depending on the time of year, Greece can swing from chilly winters to scorching hot summers that top 100°F (43°C). When planning your itinerary, plan to avoid stifling August heat waves and look instead at scheduling your vacation in late spring/early summer (mid-April through mid-June) and autumn (September through mid-October) to beat summer’s heat and tourist-packed high season.
Whether you’re planning to explore ancient sites or sack out on the beach, come to Greece prepared with some key items in your luggage. If your itinerary is heavy on cobblestone-lined cities and rocky ruins, pack good shoes and breathable clothing. Traveling in winter? Make sure to throw in an umbrella and lightweight raincoat. In warmer months, be sure to include warm-weather essentials like sunscreen, sunglasses, and a wide-brimmed hat to shield you, as many islands and archeological sites lack shade.
