Greece travel insurance can give you the boost you need to step foot on white sandy beaches again, with cover tailored to your needs.
We know that travel can feel a bit different right now, but your travel insurance for Greece is there to support you should the unexpected happen.
FCDO guidance is changing rapidly at the moment, so it’s vital that you check it’s safe for you to go to Greece before you travel. If you go on holiday while your destination is unsafe, your cover would be made invalid. Even if advice changes while you’re on holiday, you won’t be covered if your destination was listed as unsafe when you travelled.
Travel insurance that covers coronavirus means you can embrace your next adventure with confidence. COVID-19 cover is included with all new policies at no extra cost. This means you can be covered for cancellation and medical expenses abroad if you’re diagnosed with COVID-19 at home, or while on holiday.
If the FCDO advise against ‘all but essential’ travel to Greece, or a Greek island, you can still get valid travel insurance by adding the European FCDO Travel Advice Extension to your policy.
Benefits include cover for COVID-19 and £1,000 for extra accommodation or travel expenses if the FCDO advise you to return home from a trip abroad. Claims relating to any other reason that cause the FCDO to change their travel advice would not be covered.
Add the European FCDO Travel Advice Extension to your policy from as little as £5 per person.
Keep up to date with the latest travel advice for Greece before planning a trip.

It's a requirement of our travel insurance to take a GHIC (Global Health Insurance Card) or EHIC (European Health Insurance Card) with you when travelling to Greece. But remember a GHIC or EHIC is a compliment to travel insurance, not a substitute for it.
The GHIC or EHIC entitles you to free or reduced cost health care in the state health providers in Greece.
But remember, neither a GHIC or EHIC will cover you for non-medical related mishaps on your trip, and won't cover you if you need to be flown home. Only travel insurance can provide you with that peace of mind.
If you use your GHIC or EHIC when abroad, we will waive your travel insurance excess if you need to make a medical claim (this could amount to £100 per person on a Basic Travel Insurance policy and £65 per person for Comprehensive Travel Insurance policies).
We know that things can crop up before you go (changes to your medical conditions or need for additional areas of cover), please let us know by phone as soon as possible. We'll do our best to see if we can increase your coverage where necessary.
If something changes before you go away, it is essential that you let us know. Otherwise, you might not be able to claim on your insurance if the worst happens.
Whenever you need us, our 24/7 claims team is here for you.

If the country you are in or travelling to changes from Green to Amber and you want to cancel or cut your trip short, any costs incurred or elements of the trip that are lost will not be covered by our policy. You should contact your airline, tour operator, accommodation provider, or other carriers to enquire about refunds, or about changing your travel plans.
