Hello there,
I was hoping that some people out there would be able to provide me with some information regarding disabled access in Greece
I am 25 years old and suffer from Brittle Bones so I am a wheelchair user and the due the nature of my disability I can not get out of my chair although I can manage to do side transfer i.e. in and out of taxis or onto sun loungers etc. I'm thinking of coming on holiday to Greece next year Are there any other resorts that would be suitable for me to come to? I was particularly thinking of the following resorts:-Corfu, Crete, Halkidiki, Heraklion, Kos, Rhodes, Zante and Skiathos. Although any info on any resort will be most helpful. My idea of a holiday is spending the days on the beach or going on a boat trip and nights would be going to bars to have a few drinks and watch some good entertainment. Not one for spending all night clubbing!!! Are there any beaches that are accessible for me i.e to transfer onto a sun lounger or is there anyway I could get in to the sea (in Palma Nova and Los Cristanos they had 3 wheeled chairs that could be wheeled into the sea). Would I be able to get into the bars/restaurants? Is the public transport accessible? Are there any boats trips that I would be able to go on. Also are there any public disabled toilets or would I have to use the facilities in the hotels.
I'm sorry for asking so many questions, but as you can imagine it can be tricky planning a holiday when you are in a wheelchair, but any information that you can give me would be great.
Thanks in advance for the help.
Kind Regards,
Princess Amy
