Frequently asked questions

What's the legal drinking age in Greece?

The legal drinking age in Greece is 18. Applies nationwide, though enforcement is inconsistently strict in practice.

Will I be asked for ID in Greece?

Yes, especially if you're close to the minimum age of 18 — carry a valid passport, since a foreign driver's license isn't always accepted as proof of age.

Is the drinking age the same everywhere in Greece?

Rules can vary between regions/states within a country — this reflects the national or most common standard for Greece, so check locally if you're near the threshold.

Is this different from whether Greece is a "dry" country?

Yes — this is specifically about the minimum legal age, not general alcohol availability or dry regions, which is a separate consideration.
