Greek Islands with Visa at the Gate (2025)

If you are planning a vacation in the Aegean and want to get some European air but don't want to deal with visas, we have a suggestion just for you! Thanks to the visa at the door application that continues in 2025, it is now very easy to have a getaway to the Greek islands.
Crossing by ferry is a must, but first you need to reach the Turkish coast. This is where RentiCar comes into play. By renting an affordable car, you can easily reach ports such as Çeşme, Ayvalık, Kuşadası or Bodrum, and then easily cross to the islands you will enjoy!
Here are the Greek islands that you can visit this summer with a visa at the door and that will enchant you with their unique texture:

Chios

Named after its abundant mastic trees, this beautiful island welcomes you after a short ferry ride to Çeşme. Historic villages, peaceful beaches and narrow cobblestone streets will make you feel lost.
Don't forget to add some mastic jam and liquor to your suitcase on the way back!

Samos Island

Rent a car and drive all the way to Kusadasi or Sığacık, then find yourself on a lush green island in the middle of the Aegean! It's quieter than other islands, but that's part of its charm.
Immaculate bays, villages full of history and peaceful walking routes await you. If you are looking for a relaxing vacation away from the crowds, definitely put Samos on your list.

Rhodes Island

Rhodes is perfect for those who want both history and sea vacation. Rent a car from RentiCar to Bodrum, Marmaris or Fethiye, then take a short sea crossing to this legendary island.
The UNESCO-protected old town, the stone streets, Rhodes Castle and of course the story of the famous Colossus of Rhodes will take you back to a different time.

Lesbos Island

A short ferry ride after driving to Ayvalık, Lesbos stands out with its historical texture and peaceful atmosphere.
When you come here, don't forget to have a coffee at Panellinion, the sister of the famous Taş Kahve in Cunda. Sitting by the sea at sunset is a classic!
 

Meis Island
