In case of emergency, first dial 112 to reach health and police, firefighting resources, rescue and civil protection. 112 is very similar to 911 in the US and works throughout the European Union. The operator will answer the phone in Greek. Respond in English and you will be transferred to an English-speaking operator in a few moments. Be prepared to say your name and share your exact location and type of emergency.
Then call CIS Abroad US Emergency Phone at +1 413 210 7091/Emergency Email:emergency@cisabroad.com (you can share this number with your parents).The CIS Abroad emergency phone is used for on-site emergencies across the world, and someone will always be able to answer, as the phone is monitored 24/7.
