Athens Travel Insurance

Unforeseen eventualities can occur on any holiday, whether in Greece or any other part of the world. It is therefore essential that you cover yourself by taking out travel insurance prior to departing.

While Athens is not an especially dangerous city, pickpockets operate in the busy tourist areas and on public transportation. These thieves tend to prey on tourists who are unfamiliar with their whereabouts and easy to distract. There is also a risk of accident in Athens, with the city having a fairly high road traffic accident rate.

While citizens of the EU can take advantage of reciprocal healthcare agreements, citizens from other counties should ensure they have adequate medical cover, as they may be required to pay for any emergency treatment upfront.
