Medical cannabis in Greece: a guide for visitors

Already treated with medical cannabis at home, or need help while you travel? Here is how a legal medical consultation works in Greece.

What you should know

The rules in Greece, in plain words.

Prescription only

Medical cannabis is sold only in pharmacies, with a doctor’s prescription.

Specialist first

A first prescription must come from certain specialist doctors.

Paid privately

Products are not reimbursed. Pharmacies set the price.

Check before you fly

Carrying cannabis across borders can be illegal, even with a prescription.

What to bring to your consultation

Having these ready helps your doctor make a safe decision quickly.

How it works

1. Book online

Choose a time during your stay. Consultations are held in English.

2. Video consultation

A specialist reviews your history, records and current treatment.

3. Medical decision

If appropriate, your doctor issues an e-prescription. It is never guaranteed.

4. Visit a pharmacy

Your doctor explains how to collect it at a pharmacy in Greece.

Visitor questions

Greek pharmacies may not accept prescriptions from other countries. Ask the pharmacy first, or book a consultation with a doctor in Greece.

Rules differ by country. Check the laws of your destination and every country you pass through before you travel.
