Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about hospitals in Greece

Frequently Asked Questions

The two leading private hospitals for international patients in Athens are Hygeia Hospital — JCI-accredited, 312 beds, established 1970, with strengths in oncology, orthopedics, cardiac surgery, and reproductive medicine — and Metropolitan Hospital in Piraeus, with 500 beds and recognized capabilities in cardiology, neurology, and emergency medicine. For IVF and fertility specifically, Athens has several dedicated specialist clinics that are among Europe's most reputable for egg donation and assisted reproduction. The Iaso Hospital is also notable for maternity, gynecology, and neonatal care.
Greece offers savings of 40–60% compared to the UK, Germany, France, or Scandinavia for most elective procedures. A knee replacement costing £20,000 in the UK may cost €9,000–€14,000 in Athens. An IVF cycle with egg donation that costs €15,000–€25,000 in the UK or €12,000–€20,000 in Germany may cost €5,000–€9,000 in Greece. Cosmetic surgery, ophthalmology, and dental care follow similar discount patterns. For patients from the US, savings compared to cash-pay prices can reach 50–70%.
Yes — Greece has become one of Europe's premier IVF destinations, particularly for egg donation. Greek law allows anonymous egg donation with a generous age limit for donors (up to 35), and Greek fertility clinics have extensive databases of egg donors. Success rates at leading Athenian clinics are consistently high. Costs are 40–60% lower than in the UK, Germany, or Scandinavia. Waiting times are shorter. The regulatory framework is clear and well-established. Many European couples who face legal restrictions on egg donation or long waiting lists in their home countries travel to Greece for fertility treatment.
EU and EEA citizens do not require a visa to enter Greece. Citizens of many other countries can enter Greece (and the broader Schengen Area) for up to 90 days without a visa — check your country's specific agreement. For patients from countries requiring a Schengen visa, apply through the Greek embassy or consulate with a hospital invitation letter confirming the treatment plan and expected duration. Most elective medical treatment courses can be completed within the standard 90-day Schengen allowance. Greece's membership in the Schengen Area means that patients can also combine treatment with travel to other Schengen countries on the same visa.
English is widely and fluently spoken by Greek physicians, nurses, and administrative staff — Greece consistently ranks among the top countries in Europe for English proficiency. Major private hospitals in Athens (Hygeia, Metropolitan, Iaso) have English-speaking coordinators in their international patient departments as standard. Many Greek physicians have trained in the UK, US, or Germany, giving them both English language fluency and familiarity with international patient expectations. Arabic and Russian-language services are also available at some hospitals catering to patients from the Middle East and former Soviet states.
