From June 18, fines of 30 euros will be imposed.
Greece is updating the requirements for first aid kits in private vehicles. Tourists are also required to have an isothermal rescue blanket of specific dimensions, various gauze types, one set of sterile gloves, a bandage, hydrogen peroxide, and other essential materials. The new regulation mandates 16 items in car first aid kits.
The Greek Ministry of Transport highlights the importance of checking the expiration dates of first aid kit materials. Kits should be replaced at least every two years.
Drivers are encouraged to carry additional supplies that may be useful during travel. The complete list of required first aid kit items is available on the Greek Ministry of Transport’s website.
Tour operators have been informed about the changes and must notify tourists when booking trips to Greece. Compliance with these requirements is mandatory for all vehicles on Greek roads, as emphasized by the traffic police. Starting June 18, failure to meet these requirements will result in a 30-euro fine.
