Contacts

Last update : July 2023

The following organisations ALL offer services free of charge. They work independently from the authorities (they are non-governmental organisations, NGOs) – you can contact them no matter your immigration status. Some of them provide for more than one service, i.e. legal aid and social support and others specialize in specific services or even population groups. At the end of this list, you will find some emergency numbers and helplines from the Greek government.

Note! Where contacts do not include an address of the office, you will receive further information on where you have to go if you arrange an appointment through phone, email, helpdesk, social media contact of the given organisation.

Note! This is an incomplete list. We prioritized organisations that are currently functioning and more accessible. Projects and services change quickly. This is an update from July 2023 and will be further expanded.
