Visitor Information

Tourist police, often stationed near ports and the most-popular tourist sites, can answer questions in English about transportation, steer you to an open pharmacy or doctor, and locate phone numbers of hotels, rooms, and restaurants. Official tourist offices are a fairly rare commodity in Greece, though some municipalities operate them. The many, many private travel agencies can usually provide a wealth of information about a destination along with providing tours, booking accommodation, selling boat and train tickets, and renting cars. You can download maps, brochures, and guides from Visit Greece, the website of the Greek National Tourism Organization. The complete Greek Travel Pages is available online and is a valuable resource for all travel in Greece, with a handy tool for planning ferry travel. Among other info-filled resources are the popular online Greece Guides by knowledgeable and entertaining ex-pat Matt Barrett.
