Emergency

For a serious emergency in Greece call 112. Santorini’s public hospital is the General Hospital of Thira.

Pharmacies

Pharmacies are available in populated areas; opening and on-duty schedules change. Ask locally or use current Greek pharmacy listings rather than relying on old hours.

Heat and sun

Dehydration and sun exposure are common avoidable problems. Carry water, use high-SPF protection and reduce strenuous activity in the hottest part of the day.

Insurance

Travel insurance should reflect your activities, health needs and transport plans. Check exclusions for scooters, ATVs, diving and other higher-risk activities.
