Emergency & Important Numbers
In Greece, the area code must be dialled for ordinary numbers, meaning you always dial the full 10-digit telephone number. Emergency numbers are shorter, as detailed in the table below.
| Country code | 30 |
| International access code | 00 |
| Ambulance | 166 |
| Police | 100 |
| Tourist police | 1571 |
Highway Assistance
For highway assistance, different highways have different emergency numbers. These are clearly signed along the way, for example Atiki Odos (Athens to Elefsina) is 1024, Egnalia Odos (Athens to Thessaloniki) is 1077.
