Bringing medication into Greece
If you intend bringing small amounts of medication for personal use into Greece you may be required to provide documentation for customs clearance on entry which may include:
A statutory Declaration from the patient, stating that the drugs are intended for personal use and that you are responsible for anything that may occur as a result of using the drugs.
A doctor's prescription for the medication as well as a letter from the doctor stating the reason you are required to take the medication. Note that codeine is considered a narcotic in Greece and should be covered by a doctor's prescription.
In situations where there is no doctor's prescription, which is likely if it is a long standing illness or for non-prescription medication, you need to provide a statutory declaration only.
Note that the amount of medication being brought into the country must not exceed 2 bottles/boxes of each medication and up to five different types of medication.
