Planning how to stay safe and secure while you travel is a very important part of your trip. Below I have included some information and a few tips on how to ensure you and your loved ones have an "incident-free" trip.
- The Greek Government has confirmed a number of cases of Swine Flu in Greece. Maintain the same precautions that you do anywhere else for this global pandemic. Practice good hygiene, wash your hands frequently with hot water and soap for at least 30 seconds, cover your coughs and sneezes with a tissue or your sleeve, not your hands, stay home if you are feeling flu-like symptoms and avoid large crowds where others are symptomatic.
- If you need to contact the emergency services in Greece call 112.
- Around three million British people visit Greece (and its islands) every year (Source: Civil Aviation Authority). Most visits are trouble-free but you should maintain at least the same level of personal security awareness as you would in any other city.
You should maintain high standards of public behavior in Greece. The Greek police will not accept rowdy or indecent behavior, especially where excessive alcohol consumption is involved. Greek courts impose heavy fines or prison sentences on people who behave indecently.
- Most visits to Greece are trouble-free, but you should be aware that the tourist season attracts an increase in incidents of theft of wallets, handbags etc. particularly in areas and events where crowds gather. You should leave valuables in safe custody at your hotel or apartment.
Keep these few tips in mind and have a wonderful trip! Have you ever been the victim of theft when traveling? What happened and what did you do?
