Rabies in northern Greece

Having been rabies free since 1988, (last animal case 1987, last human case 1970), rabies has re-emerged in wild & domestic animals in northern Greece during the last year. There have been reports of rabies virus in neighbouring countries.

Travellers should avoid contact with animals, particularly stray dogs, and should consider vaccination against rabies if planning to walk or camp in remote areas, particularly near national borders with other countries.
