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 suplemented 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 but often only with one man! 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.
