A little of our story

Our Vision

Accessible Greece is an innovative electronic platform of the country, which is addressed to people with disabilities who wish to visit or browse through it. Through the complete tourist guide it provides, it aims to cover all the necessary information that a disabled person will need on a trip to Greece. The aim is for them to be able to enjoy their holidays in the country without anxiety, insecurity and unnecessary difficulties.

Planning a vacation is often quite a stressful process for people with disabilities. Our team aims to relieve them of this concern and, through Accessible Greece, to know in advance the destinations that have the appropriate infrastructure, in order to be served without difficulty.

Advices from disabled travelers

Enjoy every moment of your holiday

  • Many hotels offer wheelchair accessible rooms, but less attention is paid to the rest of the details of the accommodation. Make sure you have the amenities you need. Do you have a walk-in shower? If not, are there handrails, risers and seats? Is there an alarm in the bathroom? Is the sink too tall? Before booking, inform the holiday company of your needs so that you receive the appropriate answers.

  • Check that all the accessibility information you read is up to date, for example you may go somewhere expecting to use the wheelchair lifts you read about online and they have been withdrawn.

  • Check all accessibility features in advance or rely on someone who has. Many people who work in hotels are not fully aware of the accessibility needs of disabled people.

  • Be sure to check local holidays before choosing your travel dates. Many of the accessible bus routes may be blocked due to a holiday.

  • You should always have backup plans for every aspect of your trip, especially your mobility equipment.

  • When traveling with a disability, make sure you have accessibility phrases on the list with you, as locals may not be familiar with the terminology of the provision you will need.

  • Be sure to research the accessibility of all attractions before you visit.

  • Some cities are so hilly that the sidewalks have steps. If you can find a tour company familiar with local accessibility, they can tell you which sidewalks and streets to avoid.
