Where to buy medical cannabis in Greece: licensed pharmacies by city & island (2026)

Once you have a valid medical cannabis prescription from a licensed Greek physician, you need to know where to fill it. Only authorized pharmacies in Greece can dispense medical cannabis products. MedTourist GR provides pharmacy guidance as part of our service.

How Authorized Pharmacies Work in Greece

Greece's pharmacy system is well-regulated, with pharmacies located throughout cities, towns, and even smaller islands. Not all pharmacies carry medical cannabis products—only those that have been specifically authorized to dispense them. These authorized pharmacies stock regulated, lab-tested products in approved formats.

Pharmacy Availability by Region

Athens & Mainland Cities

Athens has the highest concentration of authorized pharmacies in Greece, with multiple locations in the city center near popular tourist areas like Syntagma, Monastiraki, and Plaka. Other mainland cities like Thessaloniki also have authorized pharmacy options.

Greek Islands

Major islands such as Crete (Heraklion, Chania), Rhodes, Corfu, Mykonos, and Santorini have pharmacies in their main towns. For smaller islands, we recommend filling your prescription on the mainland or at a larger island before traveling to more remote destinations.

What to Expect at the Pharmacy

• Present your valid Greek medical cannabis prescription to the pharmacist
• The pharmacist will verify your prescription details
• Available products include oils and dried flower
• The pharmacist can provide dosage and usage guidance
• Payment is typically made directly at the pharmacy
