I have a deteriorating heart condition which means I can't get cover for anything heart related (been refused by all the obvious ones). We want a lazy beach holiday, thinking about Cephalonia for a week in the summer.
I'm unlikely to keel over in that particular week, but just in case I do, I'd like to know how the Greek health system is faring at the moment, given the severe budgetary constraints. Is anyone here Greek, or lives in Greece, and could give me an idea? Especially the islands.
I would ideally use my EHIC and the public health system. Obviously there could be some horrendous additional costs anyway, but is it sensible to go to Greece on holiday - when I could go elsewhere in Europe?
Any comments much appreciated
