Why cover matters here
In Greece the EHIC (European Health Insurance Card) gives EU residents state care on the same terms as a local — but it never covers repatriation, private clinics, cancellation or lost baggage, and it is worthless for non-EU visitors. That gap is exactly what a policy is for.
What your policy must cover in Athens
- ✓Medical care and hospital admission in Athens, paid directly to the clinic.
- ✓Medical repatriation and transport for a companion.
- ✓Cancellation and early return for a covered reason.
- ✓Baggage, delay and missed connection.
- ✓Liability, plus the activities you will actually do (water, mountain, car or scooter hire).
- ✓Local emergency number: 112.

Questions travellers ask
- Is travel insurance mandatory for Athens?
- Not for EU residents, but it is required for most Schengen visa applications, which ask for €30,000 of medical cover including repatriation. For everyone else visiting Greece it is optional and, in practice, essential.
- How much does travel insurance for Athens cost?
- It depends on trip length, age and the cover you pick. We do not invent prices: our partner quotes it live and you see the figure before paying.
- What do I do if I fall ill in Athens?
- Call 112 in an emergency, and call your policy's assistance line before going to a private clinic — that is how they authorise direct billing so you never front the money.
- Does insurance cover the excursions I book here?
- Adventure activities, water sports and high-mountain days usually need an add-on. Check the covered-activities list before you buy if you plan to do any.
- Can I buy a policy after the trip has started?
- Many insurers allow it, but you lose cancellation cover and a waiting period normally applies. Buying when you book the flight is always cheapest.
