Get ready for your travels

If your country of origin is an EU member-state make sure you are a holder of the European Health Insurance Card (EHIC) or any other legal EU document issued by your nation’s social security agency. In such cases, the necessary treatment in Greece is provided by the following:

the Social Security Institute Health Units (polyclinics) or doctor’s offices in the region
Regional clinics (former rural clinics) or the Health Centres of the National Health System
the outpatients’ departments of the hospitals

If you are a Schengen Area citizen or resident, see more info on the EHIC here.

If your country of origin is not an EU member-state, make sure you have consulted your social security agency for information before travelling.
