Can tourists legally buy weed in Corfu? No — recreational weed (marijuana) is not legal for tourists in Corfu (or anywhere in Greece) in 2026. Greece does not have a legal recreational cannabis market, and the laws apply to everyone, including visitors. (Juicy Vapes)
What the law says
Recreational cannabis (THC-containing weed) is illegal in Greece (including Corfu):
Possession, use, sale, and cultivation of recreational cannabis is prohibited under Greek drug law.
There are no licensed shops, clubs, or dispensaries where tourists can legally buy weed.
Even small amounts can lead to confiscation, fines, or criminal charges — penalties can include fines, court involvement, and potentially prison.
Some websites mention that police enforcement of small personal possession can vary, but that isn’t legalisation or a guarantee of leniency — you are still breaking the law if you have or use weed recreationally.
🚑 Medical cannabis (strictly regulated)
Greece has a medical cannabis program, but it’s tightly controlled:
A valid prescription from a Greek doctor is required.
Tourists generally cannot use a prescription from another country to obtain medical cannabis in Greece.
This means there’s no straightforward legal route for tourists to obtain THC cannabis in Corfu.
🌱 What is legal
CBD products with a very low THC content (≤ 0.2 %) are legal and widely available in shops.
You can buy these if you’re looking for hemp-derived products that do not cause a high.
⚠️ Practical tips for tourists
Do not bring cannabis into Greece from abroad — customs has zero tolerance and confiscation, fines, or arrest are possible.
Avoid purchasing or using recreational weed while on the island — the law is clear and enforcement could lead to serious consequences.
🧠 Summary
✅ Legal for tourists in Corfu: CBD products with < 0.2 % THC
❌ Not legal for tourists: Recreational marijuana (weed) possession or use of any kind — there’s no legal dispensary or tolerated framework for it in Greece.
