This is where you should go to report a stolen passport, or any other crime while you are on the island. Unfortunately very few of the police speak languages other than Greek although most have a few pleasantries in their vocabulary, so it is much better to find a Greek speaking person to call on your behalf. Better still visit the police station in person with your translator. There is a tendency for the phone to be put down on you if they don't understand what you are saying. Try to speak slowly and very clearly if you have to make a report.

The police force is supplemented during the summer months when the island gets lots of visitors. Quite a few of the temporary policemen do speak second languages.

The police station on the island is manned during the day.If you need to visit go between 8:30-11:30 in the mornings or 6:00-8:30 in the evenings to stand a better chance of someone in real authority being in.
