Food Allergies - Nuts and Shellfish

Hello Kidslovegreece. We have just started thinking about a vacation to Greece in 2022. Although I think Greece is a wonderful destination, I am nervous because my husband has a severe food allergy to nuts and shellfish. Do you have any suggestions that might help me?

Hello there! We understand your concern. To be honest, we have had many customers with severe allergies over the years, and so far there have never been any problems. We have some allergy cards in English/Greek that we can give you (you can customize them) to give to restaurants/hotels, etc. 

There are some safe foods that he can eat with confidence. Greek cuisine has so many variations. Have you traveled internationally in the past? What have you done? Greece is no different. Greeks speak English and there are pharmacies everywhere. I think it's important to have an epi-pen and an allergy card with you.
