Following the Greek government's announcement last night of receiving 10,000 vaccinated and recovering Israelis every week, without the obligation to isolate and inspect corona in Greece, airlines are preparing to operate flights to various destinations in the island nation.

The agreement (which is subject to the signing of a government order) cancels Greece's announcement of the state's opening of the state to Israelis on April 15 this year, and in fact allows us to vacation there as early as this coming Passover.



It should be noted that in Greece the virus is still on the rise and the residents of the country are currently closed at night, having so far vaccinated about 10 percent of its population.

Today (Tuesday) the death toll in the country from Corona stands at 7,531 people and in the last day 1,705 people have been reported to have contracted the virus.

However, travel companies and agencies are not wasting time, and have already thawed vacation packages and direct flights to various destinations in Greece, as early as next week, assuming the closure is stopped.

So we checked to which destinations in Greece you can fly on Passover and how much it will cost you.

"A variety of hotels have already opened"

For example, the Greek airline Blue Bird, represented by the Israeli Vacation Line Company, is preparing to immediately cancel flights in the first phase to Crete, Rhodes, Athens and Thessaloniki and later also to Mykonos, Kos and other destinations.

"Greece is currently in the midst of an intensive vaccination process to create green tourist islands for a safe vacation," says the VP of marketing at the group of vacation lines, 90 Minutes and his Ilan Tourism and Vacation Blick. "A variety of hotels have already opened, especially in Crete, Athens and Thessaloniki "There are high expectations from the Greek government for the arrival of Israeli tourists to the country," he adds.



According to him, vacation prices will start at 299 euros per person in 5-star hotels, but flights to Crete we found on the company's website at 28.3 at 374 euros round trip. "Israelis will book early in advance and will enjoy pre-season prices and room availability available with immediate approval," adds Shalev. According to him, the company allows those booking through them flexible cancellation terms and full refunds, if any passengers are found to be close to Corona for a flight costing $ 20 per passenger.

"Rhodes and Corfu since next week"

Israir is also preparing to advance their flight schedule to Greece, and has begun "taking out of the attic" the destinations that were on the shelf and planned for mid-April.

"In light of Greece's announcement that it will allow entry into vaccinated Israelis, Israir is advancing its flight schedule to Athens, Thessaloniki, Rhodes and Corfu as early as next week," he told Walla!

Gil Autumn's VP of Marketing.



According to Fall, flight prices will start at $ 199 per person. However, flight prices do not currently appear on the site and will increase later in the day. But in the Skyscanner flight search engine, we found the company's flights to Athens on Passover on March 28. At $ 334 per person round trip (April 1) The



El Al website has not yet updated the destinations and prices for Greek destinations in March, as well as other airlines. The flying carpet company also intends to operate flights to Greece in the coming days, but has not yet officially published the list "We are preparing to operate daily flights to Rhodes, Crete, Thessaloniki and Athens," Oren Maguri, VP of marketing for the company, told Walla!

"We are already ready with our hotels and local representatives at the destinations. The Israelis are waiting for Greece and this outline will bring them back immediately."

The company estimates that prices for Rhodes and Crete for 5-star and three-night hotels will be $ 499 per person in a double room.



It should be remembered that those entering the country from any destination abroad still have the obligation to present a negative corona test. The flying carpet intends to run an array of corona tests for passengers before the flight back to Israel.

A lot of flights will be operated there.

Summer will also be hot in Greece

Remember, as we published here last week, from June and July, the low-cost companies Visair and Rainier will also fly from Israel to Santorini, in addition to the destinations in Mykonos, Rhodes and Crete (Visair).

The prices of the flights on the site are currently only tens of euros in both directions (without luggage).



Despite the nightly closure that takes place every day in Greece from 9pm to 5am, as of yesterday archeological sites and public parks in the country have been opened to the public, as well as hairdressers and beauty salons, which must be pre-registered to enter.

However, there are quite a few areas that are still considered “red” in the country, such as Rhodes and Mykonos, and the morbidity status in them should be monitored before booking a flight.
