Will I need to travel to see a specialist?
When we asked members in Greece if they typically need to travel to see specialists, they replied...
"Greece is home to a wide variety of medical specialists, with some of the best selection being found in the cities of Athens, Thessaloniki, and Patras. Additionally, the islands of Crete and Corfu are known for their excellent selection of medical specialists, as well as the region of Central Macedonia. Other areas of Greece with a good selection of medical specialists include the Peloponnese, the Ionian Islands, and the Cyclades Islands," commented one expat who made the move to Greece.
