Greece announced today that it would reopening its country for tourism as of 15 June.

From the middle of next month, tourists from the following country will be able to enter airports at Athens and Thessaloniki: Albania, Australia, Austria, Bulgaria, Germany, Denmark, Switzerland, Estonia, Japan, Israel, China, Croatia, Cyprus, Czechia, Finland, Latvia, Lebanon, New Zealand, Lithuania, Malta, Montenegro, Norway, North Macedonia, South Korea, Romania, Serbia, Slovakia and Slovenia.

The United Kingdom has suffered the highest number of Covid-19 deaths per capita of any country, and shares a common travel area with Ireland - which likely explains our exclusion from the list. Other countries that have not made the list include Spain, Italy and France, all of which suffered a high number of Covid-19 cases.

As things stand, many countries such as Spain, Italy and France are reopening travel without restrictions from the beginning of next month. Ireland, on the other hand, will be making tourists sign forms at airports confirming that they will self-isolate for 14 days after their arrival.
