Handy Health-Related Phone Numbers for Greece

These are accurate as of the time of posting; on your arrival in Greece, you may want to confirm them locally. In most cases, the phone will be answered in Greek but the person will either speak English or know enough to get someone who can.

You can dial these from any phone - and you may want to pop them into your cell phone while you're in Greece.

24hr pharmacies 107
Hospitals 106
Emergency doctor (2pm to 7am) 105 or 107
Ambulance 166
Roadside assistance for car problems: 10400
There's another "emergency number" you may want on you and in your cell phone in Greece - the number of your hotel's front desk. If you don't have a phone in your room, or if you're on the road and need help, connecting with the front desk could be very helpful in an emergency. Special medical concerns?
