Travel notes for Greece
GR / FIELD NOTESData the moment you land
The first place being connected pays off is passport control, when they ask for your hotel address and it’s sitting in your email. Plans run from 1 GB to 20 GB, valid up to 30 days, with unlimited day passes for longer stays. An Ozu eSIM installs before you fly and wakes up when you touch down.
Timing your trip
Summer in Greece lands between June and August, and the prices and the queues come with it. If you can pick, May or September give you the same place with fewer people and less heat.
Paying your way
Tipping is a local custom, not a universal one: in some countries it’s built into the bill, in others it’s an insult, and in others it’s how the staff actually get paid. Ask once when you arrive and you’ll stop guessing at every table.
Documents & cover
Entry rules depend on your passport, so confirm whether you need a visa or travel authorisation before you book, and check your passport has enough validity left. Travel insurance is worth arranging either way: medical care abroad can get expensive fast.
Getting understood
The translator’s camera is the tool people use most and mention least: point it at a menu, a sign or a ticket and read it. It works better with data, which is where an eSIM earns its keep far more than it does in your photos.
