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.
