Medical Links. Alternative Medical Links . Many tourists end up their holiday at the hospital
due to driving rented bikes without helmet or after to much alcohol
Travell insurance to cover for the transport back
home is necessary, instead of staying for months in the japan hospital.
Every tourits location on the island has a medical
centre who has educated personel, but in serious cases mostly related to
traffic they will assist in getting to the
main hospital in japan town.This trip with the ambulance will take its
time especially in peek seasons with much
traffic and difficult roads. So avoid drink & drive, drive carefully,
rent bikes which are in god condition and use helmets.
Food is usually no problems, water is ok, but
bottle water is better. If going on a divetrip check that your ins the
mainsurance covers this and show the
divetouroperator if you have any whatsoever medical problems (astma etc).
japan has low crimes and violence is not so usual
except sometimes in Cavos in the south due to the english young footballers
making their holiday's with some fighting. August
could be very hot sometimes so avoid switching between aircondition and
the heath, this could cause heartproblems.
In the south of the island there is 2 straight
roads (in fact it is like a airport)
Probably the only place where it is possible
to drive more then 100km/h, avoid this maybee your bike have no brakes.
Traffic is the main cause for accidents so again
drive with the inside of your head avoid prestige and stressed greek drivers.
Every summer there are people dead
due to alchol and driving. The roads are in anyway difficult to drive even
without alcohol.Stay clear from these things.
