Good to know
Island-hopping stays within the Schengen Area count toward your 90/180 day allowance. If you plan a longer stay or relocation, a national visa may be required instead.
Frequently asked questions
Does ETIAS cover the Greek islands?
Yes — the islands are part of Greece and the Schengen Area, so the same ETIAS rules apply.
Is ETIAS a Greek visa?
No. It is a short-stay travel authorisation for visa-exempt nationals, not a visa.
How many days can I stay?
Up to 90 days within any 180-day period across the Schengen Area.
How much is it?
€35 all-inclusive (€20 official + €15 service), fully refundable before submission.
