Travel insurance is not compulsory in Greece, but it’s a good idea to have one. Insurance is issued for each tourist and eliminates the need to pay for medical expenses for emergency medical care. Many insurance also cover things like theft, loss of baggage or even emergency repatriation. Some things that are not covered by insurance in Greece include extreme sports and other high-risk activities, alcohol abuse, natural disasters and things like epidemics or terrorist attacks. There are several types of insurances like single-trip insurance, annual multi-trip insurance and backpacker insurance. On the lower end, insurance may cost from 30 to 100 USD, but it greatly varies. Moreover, if you need a visa to get into Greece, health insurance is mandatory.

To visit Greece, there are no mandatory vaccination requirements, but some vaccines are recommended. These vaccines are: chickenpox, tetanus, flu, measles and polio. Infants between 6 and 11 months should especially get 1 dose of measles vaccine. If you’re planning on travelling in areas filled with wildlife, a rabies vaccine is highly recommended. Moreover, people who have hepatitis should also have their shots before departing for Greece.

Water and food in Greece is almost always safe, there are no huge issues in the country in regards to them. You should only worry about water if you’re in a very rural area, where water is gathered from unregulated wells. When travelling in rural areas, it is advised to have bottled water with you.

Insects and animals are common in Greece, especially outside major cities. To avoid insect bites, you should try to cover yourself as much as possible and use insect repellent. In hotels or other places of accommodation, you should always make sure there is enough ventilation. DEET is a useful repellent against ticks and mosquitoes. Permethrin coated clothes are also useful for avoiding bites. If you do get bitten, try to avoid scratching the bites and you should apply hydrocortisone cream or calamine lotion. If you do a lot of outdoor activites, you should regularly check your body for tics. Try to avoid any stray or wild animals you may encounter. If you get bit by any animal, you should instantly wash your wound and go to the doctor. If you wake in a room with a bat, also seek medical care immediately.

1. Call the assistance company, which is a partner of your insurance company. Contacts can be found in the insurance policy.
2. Provide all the necessary information regarding the insured event and the symptoms with which the illness proceeds.
3. The representative of the assistance company will find a suitable medical institution where you should go. If the clinic is far from your place of stay, ask what type of transport you can use and whether the trip will be paid for by the insurance company later. For payment, keep all documents proving your transportation costs to the medical facility. These documents must reflect the cost and route (if possible).
4. Upon arrival at the medical facility, do not pay for any services other than those agreed with the assistance company. Do not leave any important documents at registration.
5. Keep all documents that prove the costs of purchased drugs.
6. Do not contact medical institutions (individual doctors) before receiving approval from the assistance company. You will have to pay for such requests yourself and there is a high risk that these costs will not be reimbursed by the insurance company in the future.

Road traffic is on the right side.

Trains and railways in Greece are not as developed, but improvements are happening, albeit slowly. Despite this, trains are relatively modern and comfortable, though not very fast. Trains only cover the most major cities like Athens, Thessaloniki, Patra and others, so it’s not possible to get around the whole country solely by train.

Greece is a country with loyal attitude towards animals, but it’s a bit harder having your pet here as a tourist

If your pet is not very big, you can transport your pet on public transport in a suitable carrier. Bigger animals are not allowed on most public transport, with the exception of ferries. In all cases, remember to carry the pet’s ID card and health certificate.

It is better to discuss this issue directly with the driver.

Only around 20% of hotels in Greece have accommodations for animals, mostly dogs. On the other hand, many Airbnbns are pet friendly. Most of the time you are not charged extra if you have an animal.

If all of the above rules are followed, there will be no problems traveling with animals in Greece.

Transporting animals long distances is a huge stress for them. Please consider this fact in order not to harm your little friend.
And if you cannot leave your pet under the supervision of the house, then take care of purchasing the most comfortable carrying and take with you enough medicines to solve the problems of the animal as soon as possible
Some restaurants are animal friendly, but many of them do not allow animals inside.
