Can you carry medicines in the cabin of an airplane to or from Greece?

Yes, it is allowed, this is absolutely normal practice, as there are no restrictions on transporting medications in hand luggage to/from Greece. But to avoid questions, you need to follow a few clear but mandatory rules.

Greek customs and other states monitor the import of medications, and here's what you need to know so that your luggage and hand luggage don't raise unnecessary questions:

• Medicines for yourself. You are allowed to transport the necessary amount for the duration of the trip.
• Keep them in their original packaging. This is the most important rule. Blister packs, containers, and usage instructions should be branded. Loose tablets in a bag will immediately raise suspicion.
• A doctor's prescription is your main document. If the medicine is prescription, especially potent, psychotropic, or containing hormones, be sure to bring a prescription or medical certificate with a stamp. Preferably, the document should be in English. This will prove that the medications are prescribed for your personal use, not for sale.

In addition, consider the main restriction for carrying in hand luggage: you cannot carry liquids in containers larger than 100 ml in the airplane cabin, which also includes creams, ointments, toothpaste, etc. If your medications include such items, they need to be placed in checked luggage.

And finally, don't overdo it with the size and weight of the medications, so as not to accidentally exceed the allowable limits for hand luggage according to your airline ticket. Usually, you are allowed to carry luggage in the cabin with a total weight of no more than 7 kilograms, but this rule may vary among individual airlines and specific fares, so check this issue with your ticket before departure.
