What other travellers advise
What other travellers advise
- Keep valuables with you on Greek ferries. Luggage is often stacked in open racks near the entrance on busy ferries. Keep passport, phone and medicine on you.
- Photograph the driver ID or receipt at the start of the ride. A traveller tip repeated in forums is to photograph the driver's ID and plate shown in the cab. It makes any later report far easier.
- For app rides, use trip history to contact the driver. With ride-hailing apps, open the trip and use the lost-item option so the app connects you with the driver. Do this the same day.
- Note taxi number, time and route as soon as you notice. Greek press advice for items left in a taxi is to collect the taxi number, date, time, and pickup and drop-off points, then contact the company.
