Athens - Post Report Question and Answers
Are qualified veterinarians and/or good kennel services available? Do animals need to be quarantined upon entry to the country? Are there other considerations regarding pets that are particular to this country?
Yup, the kennel facilities are better than our housing. Rates are cheap and people leave pets for long term including R&Rs. Vets are good too. - Mar 2022
No quarantine. Good vets available and ridiculously cheap. We shipped in pet food, treats, and litter only because I’m picky about what I use. There are plenty of pet shops with everything you would need. Pet carriers, leashes, food, litter, etc. Shipping pets out was a bit of a process, so plan ahead. GSO and the airport cargo folks were very helpful. - Jan 2020
Yes--we don't have pets, but people are happy. - Mar 2018
We did not have to quarantine our pets upon entry or even show any paperwork for them--they were brought in by car. - Jan 2017

A pet must have a current Health Certificate stating that it has been examined and shows no clinical signs or symptoms of infectious and contagious diseases; it has been vaccinated against rabies; and it has been treated against echinococcosis within thirty days prior to date of travel. This certificate is valid for 10 days from the date of loading. The rabies vaccination should be given not less than 15 days and not more than one year from the date of arrival in Greece. Birds must have a certificate stating that they are free from psittacosis. - Jul 2012
