      "q7": {
        "question": "Do I need a visa to travel from Rome to Greece?",
        "answer": "Since both Italy and Greece are in the Schengen Area, a U.S. citizen traveling from Rome to Greece for a short tourist visit does not need a separate visa. Your passport must be valid for at least three months beyond your planned departure from the Schengen zone, and you should stay within the 90-day limit in any 180-day period. An electronic travel authorization will be required once the European Travel Information and Authorisation System (ETIAS) launches, so check for updates before you travel."

      "q8": {
        "question": "Which airports in Greece are best to fly into from Rome?",
