If any kind of emergency occurs during your trip, be sure about your references:
Dial 100 for the police and 171 for the tourist police. Dial 199 to report a fire and 166 for an ambulance and the hospital. If you need an English-speaking doctor or dentist, call your embassy for advice or try SOS Doctor (Phone: 01/331-0310 or 01/331-0311). There are two medical hotline numbers for foreigners: Phone: 01/721-2951 (day) and 01/729-4301 (night) for U.S. citizens and Phone: 01/723-6211 (day) and 01-723-7727 (night) for British subjects. The English-language daily Athens News lists some American- and British-trained doctors and hospitals offering emergency services. Most of the larger hotels have doctors whom they can call for you in an emergency, and embassies will sometimes recommend local doctors.
Lost & Found--If you lose something on the street or on public transport, contact the police lost and found, Leoforos Alexandras 173 (Phone: 01/642-1616), open Monday through Saturday from 9am to 3pm. Lost passports and other documents may be returned by the police to the appropriate embassy, so check there as well. It's a good idea to travel with a photocopy of all important documents.
