Emergency info for guests in Greece (rental template)

Greece has 112 plus separate numbers for police (100), ambulance (166) and fire (199). The tourist police on 171 help visitors with problems in English and other languages. Islands and the coast need the coast guard number too.

We checked these numbers in November 2026, but services change, so please confirm them locally before you print or share the page.

Tips

Island addresses are often vague, so add GPS coordinates and a landmark like a church or taverna.
Add a meeting point in case of a wildfire evacuation, and how guests should leave.
Tell guests about the tourist police on 171 for lost passports, scams or theft.
Name the nearest hospital or health centre, and say if it's on another island.
