US Travelers Can Now Visit Greece & Croatia

Over the last year, most of our travelers have had to stick closer to home with domestic adventures and Texas staycations. We’ve been looking forward to seeing destinations further abroad reopen, and are so excited that US travelers can now visit both Greece and Croatia! Read below for a quick overview of the travel requirements (and a peak of some of our favorite hotels and experiences), then contact an advisor to start planning your own trip!

Greece Entry Requirements

Greece opened to international tourists on April 19, 2021 (one month earlier than originally planned!). Greece will allow entrance to US travelers that meet one of the following three criteria:

  • Have proof of COVID-19 vaccination
  • Have recovered from COVID-19 and have antibodies
  • Can show a negative PCR test result performed less than three days prior to departure


Your River Oaks Travel concierge will walk you through all of the requirements to enter Greece as part of our travel planning process.
