2Safety and Health

Health Insurance: Ensure you have comprehensive travel insurance that covers medical expenses. Greece has excellent healthcare facilities, but medical costs can be high for uninsured travelers.

  • Emergency Numbers: The emergency number for police is 100, for fire services is 199, and for medical emergencies is 166.
  • Water: While tap water is generally safe to drink in Greece, some travelers prefer to stick to bottled water for peace of mind, especially on the islands.
