Greece FAQ

Where can New Zealanders go for sun in our winter?

Greece is perfect. From June to September, it’s sunny, warm and ideal for swimming — right when it’s chilly back home.

Do I need a visa for Greece?

No. New Zealand passport holders can visit visa-free for up to 90 days in any 180-day period.

Is Greece good for families?

Yes. Many islands, like Naxos and Corfu, have calm beaches, family resorts and short ferry connections.

What is the best way to see multiple islands?

Book an island-hopping itinerary or a small-ship cruise. It’s easy to combine 2–3 islands in one trip.

How long is the flight from New Zealand?

There are no direct flights from New Zealand, but it’s easy to connect via hubs such as Doha, Dubai or Singapore to Athens.

Flight time from Auckland to Athens: around 24–26 hours including a stopover. Many travellers break their journey in the Middle East or Asia.

What are the best Greek islands for a July–August holiday?

Santorini, Mykonos, Crete and Rhodes offer long sunny days, great beaches and plenty of entertainment.
