I am not 100% sure, the only information that I could find is as follows:
Vaccination against COVID19 - UNHCR Greece
The National Vaccination Campaign for COVID-19 has begun. The vaccination is free of charge for all and the vaccine will become gradually available to all, in priority groups. For information on how to access the vaccination, click here. How do COVID-19 vaccines work? The function of vaccines is...

For vaccination as a foreigner, you need a temporary AMKA (social security) and it's made just for vaccination, you can't use it for other medical services, find more from here: https://emvolio.gov.gr/en/pamka
Without that number no- one will vaccinate you just walking into the doctor's door.

Thank you so much for sharing this. This will be super useful for people traveling to Greece for a long time or for people who are still unable to get vaccinated in their country. My cousins in Canada were just finally able to get their first dose, some of them even traveled to the states to get their second dose, so I'm sure others could do the same in Greece

At least some headway there,it is unbelievable what is going on here in Thailand...We expatriates come last..... perhaps next year if we are lucky, they are so unorganized it is frightening..... Yesterday a scandal came out that some internal IT people and medical staff blocked 6000 appointments and resold them elsewhere.....we live very faraway in our own 'bubble' and isolation so feel safe!!..... ..We are essentially in our own lockdown...Unable to travel but the airfare is so so cheap!!.. BKK-Doha-Mykonos return..... Kalley Mera to all here!

Do they require you to be vaccinated to travel to Greece? I thought that was one of the requirements...

I am working on planning a yacht trip through Greece. I live it because I am in total control of the itinerary and what goes on, unlike booking a cruise or something. There's enough of us in the group to make this a super affordable trip.
I am developing am itinerary - thought I'd run it by you:
What do you think? Anything to add or subtract? I have about 10 days.
I am developing am itinerary - thought I'd run it by you:
- Athens to Mykonos: Begin in the historic port of Athens and make your way to the cosmopolitan island of Mykonos. Dock at Agios Ioannis beach and take a stroll through Little Venice.
- Mykonos to Naxos: Naxos awaits, with its marble gateway to nowhere and beautiful beaches. Try the local kitron liqueur for a true taste of the island.
- Santorini: Sail to the iconic island of Santorini, where the sunset from Oia is second to none. Enjoy a swim in the hot springs of Palea Kameni and taste some of the best wines in Greece.
- Ios to Folegandros: Keep the vibes high in Ios known for its lively atmosphere, then find tranquility in Folegandros, where the untouched Mediterranean prevails.
- Return to Athens: Wrap up your adventure with a pitstop in Syros, the capital of the Cyclades. Its charm lies in its austere yet handsome neoclassical buildings and the stunning Aegean views.

Is Marathon a good day trip from Athens?

I've been planning an itinerary for my upcoming trip to Athens, and I've always been fascinated by the historical significance of Marathon. Considering its role in ancient history and the famous battle that took place there, it seems like a place that might be worth a visit.
However, I'm on the fence about dedicating a whole day trip to Marathon. From what I understand, it isn’t too far from Athens, but I'm trying to weigh up whether the experience is worthy compared to spending that time exploring more within the city itself.
Has anyone made the day trip to Marathon from Athens? Was it an enriching experience, and what are the can't-miss sights? Is the archeological site/museum there engaging enough for a history buff? Also, how about the logistics – is it easy to get to by public transport, or would you suggest renting a car or going with a tour?
I am just trying to decide if it's worth it, or if I should plan to stay overnight. Thanks!
