Greece continues to have very few COVID-19 cases, so is one of the safest countries in Europe, and the world, to go on holiday. Upon entering the country, all visitors must complete a Passenger Locator Form (PLF) which indicates where they will be staying, and random testing will also be carried out. The country has also taken measures to maintain its low figures, including social distancing and reduced capacity in hotels, restaurants and attractions. As such, we recommend booking your tours and eating out in advance to avoid disappointment.
Bars, restaurants and hotels have all reopened and are following government guidelines to guarantee the safety of the clients. This includes social distancing and encouraging regular hand washing and the use of face masks. Holidaymakers can travel by boat to the islands without having to take a test, but they need to complete a form before embarkation. Most museums and tourist attractions are now open.
Beaches are also open, but the following regulations are now in place: a maximum of two people can be seated under a single umbrella (with the exception of families with young kids); team and contact sports are banned; sunloungers must be at least 1.5m from neighbouring unbrellas; and social distancing rules must be followed. Capacity on the sand has also been set to 40 people per 1,000m2.
Indoors, a limit has been imposed on the number of people per square foot to ensure a distance of 2 metres is maintained. Face masks must be work on all public transport, as well as in taxis, hospitals and when visiting certain government buildings and shops.
