Cannabis Laws in Santorini (Greece)

Recreational cannabis

• Illegal everywhere in Greece, including Santorini.

• You cannot legally buy, sell, possess, or use THC-rich cannabis (“weed”) as a tourist or resident.

• There are no legal dispensaries or delivery services for recreational cannabis.

Even small amounts for personal use can lead to:

• Confiscation

• Fines

• Criminal charges

• Potential issues with local police — and as a visitor, legal trouble can affect travel plans (weed laws santorini).

What “decriminalized” doesn’t mean

Even if you hear about softer penalties for minor amounts in some European countries, that does not apply in Greece — recreational cannabis is still prohibited and can be prosecuted.

Is medical cannabis an option?

Only in a strictly regulated medical cannabis program, which requires:

• A prescription from a Greek-licensed doctor, and

• Filling the prescription through an authorized pharmacy.

Tourists generally can’t use foreign medical cannabis prescriptions without local approval, so this isn’t a practical option while visiting.

Legal CBD Products

Although recreational cannabis is illegal, you can buy legal CBD products (very low THC, usually ≤ 0.2–0.3%) in Greece. These include:

• CBD oils & tinctures

• CBD topicals (balms, creams)

• Some CBD vapes

They are non-intoxicating and sold in health shops, CBD stores, and some pharmacies — but they do not give a “high.”
