Flying to Greece
Greece has had difficulties in containing an increasing number of COVID-19 cases between soft and hard lock-downs since November 2021. But the hospitality industry in the country must boon rapid mentee if more than 20% of the country’s tourism-derived gross domestic product, employing one out of five Greek workers, is to survive.
Passenger Locator
One key element in the planning is the Passenger Locator Form (PLF). The PLF is required to be completed by all travelers until the day before they enter and leave the country, and details on the departure point, the length of their previous stays in other countries, and their address during their stay in Greece are provided. If you stay several times, you must give the address at least for the first 24 hours. One PLF per family is to be submitted.
Accommodation in Rhodes
Greece is packed with small and delicious hotels with only a few rooms, many run by families. This is an ideal solution, without going to a massive all-inclusive resort.
In this season, it will be a smart move to stay in a boutique hotel; in some cases, personalized services and activities such as massages, spas, and personal training or yoga classes offered by these small structures are available.
Restaurants & beaches
Swimming and sunbathing will still be possible, but you should do so more wisely to prevent crowds. The most important ru1le that you must follow is to keep the right distance and to do what it takes to protect yourself and others.
First, this year, when you choose to go to the beach, you have to be especially careful. You do not only guard against the hottest hours of the day by getting to the beach at a very early hour or minutes before the sunset when you can easily get sunk. This will certainly give you less space and room to sit on the sand.
Island exploring
Before exploring the glossy harbor, rocky coves, and long sandy beaches of the Cyclades, our island hopping tour starts in the capital of Greece, Athens. Visit Syros, Santorini, and Naxos Islands with ferry services.
- Santorini – Discover the stunning volcanic scenery and the blue-dominated churches
- Syros — Capital of the Isles of the Cyclades; walk along the coast and try some authentic seafront cafeterias
- Paros – Opportunity for walking along ancient Byzantine road from Golden Beach to snorkeling.
Boat Traveling
The sea landscapes, the stunning isolated beaches, and the nature of Greece are unique. And it’s a great way to enjoy all these things by hiring a boat. You can choose to ride on a small island or an inaccessible beach for you and your family to spend the day entirely, or you can opt for an experience in fishing for a day. It’s also very common to rent a small boat on several Greek beaches and try to be a captain for a day. You do not need a special sailing license with some companies to rent a boat for a few hours.
