Good to Know
🛂
Passports & Entry
US citizens do not need a visa for Monaco, France, Italy, Croatia, or Greece for stays under 90 days. The EU's ETIAS travel authorization may be required starting 2026 — check travel-europe.europa.eu/etias before departure. Ensure passports are valid for at least 6 months beyond June 28, 2026.
💳
Currency & Payments
All destinations use the Euro (€). Credit cards are universally accepted at your level of hotels and restaurants. Amex is widely accepted in Monaco and major cities but carry a Visa/Mastercard backup for smaller establishments. Notify your bank of all travel dates.
🍴
Michelin Dining Reservations
All fine dining reservations have been confirmed: Le Louis XV (Monaco, June 9 — 3 stars), Rossellinis (Ravello, June 18 — 2 stars), Varoulko Seaside (Athens, June 27 — 1 star), and GB Roof Garden (Athens, June 27). Dress code is smart elegant throughout — jackets recommended for gentlemen at Le Louis XV.
🔌
Power Adapters
All countries on this itinerary use Type C/F plugs (standard European round two-pin). A single universal adapter will work everywhere. All hotels will have USB charging, but bring your own cables. A multi-port USB-C charger is recommended.
📱
Connectivity
All hotels offer complimentary high-speed WiFi. For mobile data, we recommend an eSIM from Airalo (Europe package) for seamless coverage across all five countries. Your yacht and helicopter transfers will have limited connectivity — download offline maps for each city before departure.
Time Zones
Monaco, France, Italy, and Croatia are in CEST (UTC+2), which is 6 hours ahead of New York. Greece is in EEST (UTC+3), 7 hours ahead. Your clock will shift by one hour when you arrive in Santorini on June 23.
Yacht & Boat Transfers
The Monaco→Saint-Tropez yacht is a private Sunseeker 76 with crew, champagne, and lunch. The Santorini→Athens ferry is VIP class with lounge seating. Sea conditions in late June are typically calm, but motion sickness remedies are included in your packing list as a precaution.
