Do UK citizens need travel insurance for Greece?
Do UK citizens need travel insurance for Greece? If you're a UK citizen, you can apply for a Global Health Insurance Card (Ghic) that will give you access to emergency or necessary state healthcare in Greece and other EU countries for free or at a lower cost.
Do UK citizens get free healthcare in Greece?
State healthcare in Greece is not completely free. You may still have to pay to use some parts of the healthcare system. UK nationals usually access the Greek healthcare system in one of these ways: paying national insurance contributions if you're registered to work in Greece.
Is it OK to not have travel insurance?
If your trip doesn't involve any nonrefundable reservations, you may not need travel insurance. For instance, if you've booked only airplane tickets and a hotel stay for your vacation, and they're both governed by flexible cancellation policies, the trip cancellation benefit may not be necessary.
