[quote=Anonymous]I'm French and have vacationed in all these places multiple times. Please do not expect rapid care if you go to very popular places during the height of tourist season. Doctors and ERs in places like St Tropez are entirely overwhelmed (usually it's small or midsize cities in which hordes of tourists descend), and on the French news, there are regular reportings every year about how ERs can't keep up with the glut of sick or injured tourists. Other than that, you should have no issues in the countries you mention, who all have well-trained and well-resourced medical establishments (Greece slightly less so, but still fine). Expect to wait longer on weekends and Holidays, of course. Europeans take their days off seriously. My mother has had Multiple Sclerosis for 50 years and has never had a flare, or needed medical care at all, on vacation. She's traipsed all over Europe with us and also gone to East Asia. I hope you enjoy your travels, OP! [/quote]
