Tap water in Athens

Athens tap water comes from the Mornos, Evinos and Marathon reservoirs and is treated by EYDAP through coagulation, sedimentation, sand filtration and chlorination, meeting EU drinking water standards; it is safe to drink straight from the tap across the city. This does not generalise to the islands, where many supplies are desalinated or drawn from limited groundwater and bottled water is the norm — Santorini is a standard example. On a day trip from Athens, fill up before you leave.
