Emergency Contacts
As a visitor to Ermioni, we hope you have an enjoyable time. However, for some, there may be a more serious occasion where you may require medical attention. We recommend you take out medical insurance cover during your stay, prior to travelling. MEDICAL:
For everyday minor ailments, a visit to one of the three local pharmacies may be all that is required. They are all situated on the Limani side of Ermioni: one close to the Tourist office, one on the corner on the way to the Health Clinic, and one opposite to Maria's taverna. They have highly trained pharmacists that speak English and will give you expert advice. Medicines and drugs can be bought over the counter at a reasonable price. Usually, they are all open during the week, but at the weekends only one will be open on a rota system.
Should the need arise for a more serious condition, then a visit to the Ermioni Regional Clinic, 27540 31224 or 6944 422559 is advised. The Ermioni Regional Clinic is situated in a building behind the Ermioni Coast Guard station, where you will find a good English speaking doctor. The Ermioni Clinic is only open Monday to Saturday: 08:00 to 13:30. No appointment required. For location, see the plan of Ermioni in the picture gallery below. Other doctors are available in Ermioni, but by private appointment only, and you will be charged. We highly recommend Dr Athanasios Skoupras - Mob: 6072 247724 Office: 27540 31435 Open clinic: Monday-Friday 08:30 - 10:00am located one street behind/above Pop's Tourist office. English spoken.
Should the Ermioni Regional Clinic be closed, then in the neighbouring town of Kranidi, 10 kms from Ermioni, there is a 24-hour Regional Health Centre (left) Tel: 27540 22222 or 6932 646424 with English speaking doctors on duty at all times. Please be aware, there is a standard 5 Euros cover charge for all patients. There are a couple of pharmacies in Kranidi, see plan of Kranidi in picture gallery below for location. If further treatment is necessary then the nearest hospitals are at Nafplio, 78kms from Ermioni, and Argos, 89kms from Ermioni. Please note: There is only one ambulance on duty for the whole Ermionida area, so it's much quicker to drive to the Regional Health Centre in Kranidi, or take a taxi.
DENTAL:
Although there are a couple of dentists in Ermioni, we can personally highly recommend two dentists in Kranidi, who both speak English. See plan of Kranidi below for locations. Fotis in Kranidi 27540 23425 or 6977 946554. Maria in Kranidi 27540 22500.
PHYSIO:
If a physiotherapist is required, we can highly recommend Sofia who operates from centre of Ermioni, specialising in manual therapy. English speaking. Mobile: 6934 670756 Email: sofiata1107@yahoo.gr
POLICE:Due to very little crime in the town, there are no police officers stationed in Ermioni any more. The regional police station is now situated in new premises (right) at the bottom end of Kranidi, between the open-air market and the new AB supermarket. Tel: 27540 21210 National Police Tel: 100 English spoken. Additional police from Kranidi are usually requested for large events in Ermioni, like the annual 'Dionysia' weekend, or the annual festival at the Monastery of Agioi Anargyroi, on the outskirts of Ermioni, where thousands of pilgrims attend on the last day of June. Local issues and traffic disputes within Ermioni are usually dealt with by the Port Police.
COAST GUARD:
The office of the Hellenic Coast Guard (Port Police) is situated in front of the Ermioni Regional Clinic, to the left of the entrance to the weekly market area. Their presence is always visible at the port of Limani, when the passenger boats arrive. By Greek law, they have to check on all arrivals and departures at the Limani port, to deal with any illegal imigrants and any surprise invasion force. The Port Police are the main point of contact for any tourist issues. English spoken. Contact details for Port Police: Tel: 27540 31243 Fax: 27540 33133 Email: ermioni.hcg@gr
