IVF in Greece
Travelling to Greece for IVF, particularly donor egg treatment, usually involves coordinating your own monitoring at home with a shorter, more intensive visit for the procedure itself. Because donor cycles can involve matching and screening timelines outside your control, the schedule for travel is sometimes less predictable than for a standard own-egg cycle. As with any treatment abroad, the legal and regulatory framework is different from home, so understanding how complaints and follow up work matters before you book flights.
We do not publish an average price for Greece, because any single figure would be a guess and would go out of date. Use the questions below to get an itemised quote in writing from the clinic itself. Currency here is Euro (EUR).

The practical side of travelling
- For donor cycles, ask how far in advance a donor is matched and how that affects your travel timing
- Find out whether baseline monitoring can be done at home before you fly out
- Check airline and border rules for carrying prescription fertility medication
- Confirm a named point of contact for questions between visits and how quickly they usually respond
- Ask what happens to any embryos not transferred immediately, including storage location and cost
- Arrange follow up monitoring with your GP or a local clinic before you travel, so you are not left without support once home
- Ask how many trips are typical for the type of cycle you are having, since donor cycles can differ from own-egg cycles
Risks and things to check first
- Complaint routes and regulation differ from those at home; ask the clinic in writing how complaints are handled
- If something goes wrong after you return home, local clinicians may need full written records from the clinic abroad to act quickly
- Rules on donor anonymity and what donor information you or any child can access differ between countries and can change, so confirm the current position with the clinic and the relevant regulator
- Travelling during ovarian stimulation carries some risk of OHSS; ask what symptoms mean you should seek urgent care while away from home
- Ask whether any add-on treatments offered are standard practice or optional extras with limited evidence
- Confirm the clinic's current licensing status with the relevant authority in Greece
Rules on donors, genetic testing and who can be treated differ by country and change. Confirm the current position with the clinic and the country's regulator before you book anything.
