Has the situation in Greece changed recently?

The 7-day Safe Trip Score change is -1 points. Day-to-day moves under 3 points are noise; moves of 3 to 7 points usually reflect a fresh advisory or a moderate-severity event; moves above 7 points typically come from a major advisory level change or a high-severity acute event. The recent-events feed and the 7-day timeline page identify the specific drivers.

How is the Safe Trip Score for Greece calculated?

The score is a weighted blend of six sub-scores (disease 18%, conflict 22%, natural disasters 16%, crime 16%, civil unrest 14%, infrastructure 14%) plus a 20% blend of major foreign-ministry advisories. The methodology page documents the exact algorithm and the changelog tracks every weighting change. Score range is 0 to 100; 100 means very low risk, 0 means extreme risk.

When does the Greece Safe Trip Score update?

Foreign-ministry advisories are checked daily. Last computed 1 Jun 2026, 17:46 (just now). The status page shows the freshness of every individual data feed.
