Greek Entry

[Major_Clanger]

Sorry to disappoint but this is about boats........

I've not taken a boat into Greece since Brexit. Please would someone bring me up to speed on what to expect? I've got the usual in terms of Greek translations of ship's papers, insurance etc. Anything extra I'm going to need to do?

UK-registered boat, 3 UK passport holders aboard.

TIA

Is the boat EU or UK VAT paid?

I've entered many times from Türkiye and I've never been asked for Greek translations. I'm planning to enter from Albania in a UK registered boat in a few weeks and i won't have Greek translations. They like to get the crew list in the official format - I have it saved somewhere if you pm your email address I'll send it to you. Rest depends on your boat's EU VAT status as per #3.

It is a Greek legal requirement to have Insurance to a particular level and a translation of the Certificate in a particular format. Insurers are used to this and will provide it.

As a precaution I got a Greek translation of the certificate from my insurer. I deliberately didn't produce it on entry in Corfu to see if they would ask for it. They didn't. They were happy with the English version. I subsequently visited the port police in Preveza, Galaxidi, Lavrio, Karystos, Kirykos and Pythagorio. Some asked to see insurance, some didn't, but none of them asked for a Greek translation.
I had prepared the crew list in advance in the official format, but the on entry in Corfu, they didn't want it. They hand wrote a crew list. I checked out in Pythagorio yesterday en route to Türkiye and the port police there were very unhappy with the Corfu crew list
