Key Medical Tourism Travel Tips for 2026

Flight Considerations

Most patients are cleared to fly back just 24–48 hours after the procedure. Always wear a loose-fitting hat provided by the clinic to protect grafts from cabin dust and sunlight. 

Physical Activity

While in Crete, avoid swimming in the sea or hotel pools for at least 14 days to prevent infection. Light walking is encouraged from Day 3 to help reduce any minor swelling. 

The "Golden Rule" of Sleep

For your first 3 nights in Heraklion, use a travel neck pillow to keep your head stable and elevated, preventing the grafts from touching the pillow directly. 

Climate Protection

The Cretan sun is strong even in "off-peak" months. Stay in the shade and avoid direct exposure to the scalp for at least one month post-surgery.
