À propos de cet audio
While Greece is overall safe, listeners should remain aware of several travel precautions. Greece is situated in an active seismic zone, and early 2025 brought a series of mild earthquakes near the Cycladic islands, particularly Santorini. Seismological experts have confirmed there is no sign of volcanic activity, and Greek authorities have responded quickly to reassure both residents and travelers. Visitors are advised to stay up to date on local news, follow any official instructions in the event of an earthquake, and familiarize themselves with emergency procedures, as the country’s infrastructure is prepared to handle such events.
The summer months, especially July through September, carry a heightened risk of wildfires, particularly in areas like the Peloponnese, Central Greece, Eastern Macedonia and Thrace, and the northern outskirts of Athens. Monitor local weather alerts, heed any evacuation orders, and avoid areas under fire warnings. Beachgoers should pay attention to warning flags, be mindful of riptides, and avoid hazardous coastal areas during storms. For water activities, it is essential to obey local advice, use personal flotation devices, and steer clear of restricted swimming or boating zones.
Pickpocketing is a minor but persistent concern in crowded urban areas and on public transport, especially in Athens. Travelers should guard valuables, use crossbody bags, keep bags in sight, and avoid poorly lit or unfamiliar neighborhoods at night. When traveling on foot, always double-check for vehicle traffic, as local driving standards may differ from what some listeners are used to.
Women traveling alone should exercise additional caution, particularly on some islands, as there have been isolated incidents of assault reported in recent years. It's best to avoid accepting rides from strangers or casual acquaintances.
For those interested in hiking or exploring nature, take extra care during hot weather, as Greek trails often have little shade and variable route markings. Plan routes in advance, carry plenty of water, wear appropriate clothing, and avoid hiking alone. Lighting fires is illegal due to wildfire risk, and wild camping near archaeological sites, seashores, and forests is prohibited—use only licensed campsites to avoid penalties.
Medical facilities are generally modern and accessible, and emergency services can be reached by dialing 112. Travelers should ensure their insurance covers any adventure activities, as mountain rescues and helicopter evacuations can be costly.
In summary, Greece in 2025 offers a welcoming and enjoyable travel experience, provided listeners remain mindful of standard safety practices. Stay informed on local advisories for seismic activity and wildfires, secure valuables, follow local guidance in emergencies, and observe common-sense precautions for personal safety and outdoor adventures.
