Food & drink
Mains water is normally chlorinated, and whilst relatively safe, may cause mild abdominal upsets. Bottled water is available and is advised for the first few weeks of the stay. Milk is pasteurised and dairy products are safe for consumption. Local meat, poultry, seafood, fruit and vegetables are generally considered safe to eat.

Other risks
Hepatitis A occurs. Precautions should be taken against tick bites. Immunisation against tick-borne encephalitis is advised.
Rabies is present. For those at high risk, vaccination before arrival should be considered. If you are bitten, seek medical advice without delay. For more information, consult the Health appendix.

For UK nationals, hospital and other medical treatment as well as some dental treatment is normally free on presentation of a UK passport. UK residents who are not nationals, should obtain a certificate of insurance from the Inland Revenue Centre for Non-Residents to get medical treatment. Prescribed medicines must be paid for. All other international travellers are advised to take out full medical insurance.
