How long can you stay in Greece?

Greece is in the Schengen Area, so visa-exempt visitors can stay up to 90 days within any 180-day period. Those days are shared across all of Schengen — island-hopping does not earn you a separate Greek allowance.

Greek days count toward all of Schengen

Time in Athens or on the islands uses the same 90-day Schengen budget as anywhere else in the area. Add every Schengen day across your trip; a ferry between countries or a flight into Thessaloniki does not restart the count.
