My understanding is with those you should have a letter signed from doctor saying it is prescribed, the dose and why you’re taking it. That is about all I can find. I will post once we are out of the airport 👍👍😊

From what I read the main ones they watch for are Tramadol, Diazepam (I'm sure I'm miss spelling these lol) and one other I forgot which and, as noted above, another is Sudafed with whatever is in the behind counter version. I am going to travel with all mine in the bottles and the one I feel unsure about I will carry a letter from my doctor why I take it and hope for the best. I feel like Athens is a huge place with many people traveling to and from other places and there has to be people with multiple meds needed. So I'm going to go forward as I normally do and hope for the best. We go at the end of July. I'll update this thread with what happens.

Thanks Hank we have never had issues in all our travels but when I saw this about Greece I wanted to see if people have had issues. We do carry cold med but not the one that requires a drivers license. Honestly I think going the way we normally do will be fine. I did check for a list of restricted drugs and only found 3 that were fine here but not there. I won’t have those so I think we will be fine. 😊

Thanks 😊 and it looks like my daughter gets a reduced rate she’s under 25 👍👍

Thanks 😊 Mine are in giant bottles and I typically try to dose them out into baggies if I know it’ll be fine. For ports I’m unsure of I leave them in the bottles but 😑 so much space lol i do carry a letter from doctor with dosing and reason and then the pharmacy sheet and have never had issue. I do take one thing one there “flag” list so that I’ll carry a physical prescription for. I read last night only about 1% of people coming through have issues in Greece so I’m going to go ad normal and hope for the best. 👍😊 thanks again! 😊

Oh thanks so much! I was on that company’s website last night. Yes, I would have loved to do the earlier tour but not knowing what time we can actually get off the ship I didn’t want to book that early. I hate to wait until we are onboard because we are entering high season and I always love having a knowledgeable guide and their tours seemed to be exactly what I was looking for. I’m glad to know we should be able to do at least one thing. 😊😊😊 and better yet both. 👍😊👍

Hi Everyone Kind of a strange question but yesterday I stumbled onto a post or article about entering Greece with medication. I’ve been a lot of places and have never had issue with my medication (it’s all in the prescribed bottles and I carry a print out of a list from pharmacy and why I’m using it.However I read that you need to have a physical prescription for each med. I thought no no this can’t possibly be right. So I called the Greek embassy to see if they could give me the actual info or direct me to a person that could. She said she was exactly sure but it was probably better to travel with the paper prescriptions because there are rules about how much and what kinds of meds are coming in. I was so baffled by this. well now I’m looking to past travelers, recent, and am trying to find out if they had to do this? Honestly had I not saw this I would have traveled my normal way and would have been in a bad way if I got to Greece and I had to find a way to deal with not having whatever paper documentation from the doctor I needed. I’m not looking for medical advice, I’m just trying to find out if this is an actual thing or what. Thanks so much!😊

So if I’m understanding the port authority has shuttles to move you out the the dock area and drops you in Venice? At the old port? Are the port authority buses running only at certain times per ship schedule? We did plan on only seeing Doge’s Palace and San Mark’s Basilica, this trip. I think that’ll be all we have time for. It shows docked between 6a to 6pm but we need to be back on board by 4pm and I’m sure buses won’t start at 6am. So logistically I’m not even sure it’ll be possible. We really wanted to get into Venice but maybe it’ll have to wait until next trip. Thanks all for the replies! It really is appreciated. 😊

Hello, I having been searching all afternoon for how Azamara handles the cruise port in Fusina. I understand this is a commercial port. We are on btb cruises and are trying to figure out how to get from this port into Venice for day touring. It looks like there is a ferry at that port but it is unclear if you can walk there from where we dock. It also looks like there are taxis both land and water but again is there a way to get to them when you get off ship? The only thing Azamara is offering is a transfer to the airport. Has anyone transferred from Fusina port to Venice to hotel or for day tour? If someone could make suggestions I’d be really grateful. My eyes are crossed from reading and trying to get this information. 😔 TIA, Pam
