- Locate it. From another device or a laptop: iPhone at icloud.com/find, Android at google.com/android/find. If it shows at a hotel, taxi rank, beach bar or ferry office, call them before going there.
- Lock it and show a message. Both services let you put a contact number on the lock screen. Many phones come back this way.
- Block the SIM. Call your mobile provider (from home or a borrowed phone) to stop calls and data. If you used a Greek tourist SIM, contact that provider.
- Police report. Report it at the local police station or Tourist Police (1571). Insurers almost always ask for the report.
- Left it in a taxi or on a ferry? Check the place page for that operator — taxi apps keep a trip history with the driver’s details.
If the phone is found after you left, it can be sent to you — see how to get a forgotten item sent home. Phones contain a lithium battery: it must stay inside the phone when shipped.
