Travel fans will have to be patient until there is significant relaxation in tourism.
But where is vacation currently possible with few restrictions?
A vacation without restrictions is currently out of the question.
For some, however, it is a relief if the chosen travel destination is at least not one of the corona risk areas.
In this case, the obligation to test and quarantine when returning to Germany * are no longer required.
However, there are currently few travel destinations in Europe and around the world that do.
Greece vacation despite Corona: What is possible now
Greece is one of the few countries in Europe for which only a partial travel warning currently applies.
The
regions of Attica, East Macedonia and Thrace, North Aegean, Thessaly, West Macedonia and Central Macedonia are
among the areas that the Federal Foreign Office is warning of
.
There is currently no warning for the rest of the country - even if the government continues to advise against unnecessary tourist travel.
Anyone planning a vacation in Greece must, however, expect domestic restrictions.
A lockdown will apply across the country until January 18th.
This means that the accommodation may only be left for valid reasons and with special permission, and only shops that are necessary for the basic supply are open.
In addition, people who enter Greece by January 21st have to go into a seven-day quarantine at home.
Online registration is mandatory for entry by air, sea and land.
The relevant form must be completed at least 24 hours before departure.
A QR code is generated from this, which must be shown upon entry - otherwise there is a risk of a fine of 500 euros.
Seychelles: Vacation in paradise - but with restrictions
If you want to go on holiday to the
Seychelles
, you should plan a longer break.
Since the archipelago is not one of the risk areas, you do not have to be in quarantine when you return to Germany, but a
twelve-day self-isolation
on arrival
applies
.
A Travel Health Authorization must be applied for between 48 hours and three hours before departure via the Seychelles government website or mobile app.
There is a fee of $ 50 for this.
In addition, the Federal Foreign Office informs that a negative PCR test is required, which must not be older than 48 hours upon departure.
Furthermore, proof of certified accommodation for the entire stay and travel health insurance that covers Covid-19 disease must be presented.
As soon as the quarantine ends, another PCR test is necessary to confirm that there is no infection with the coronavirus.
Tests, tests, tests: Mauritius without a travel warning - but with restrictions
It is also heavenly on Mauritius: There is no travel warning for the island state, even if tourist stays are advised against.
On October 1, the entry bans were relaxed, so that vacationers are now allowed again with restrictions - but only if they plan to stay for 14 days, as the Foreign Office informs.
A total of
four corona tests
must be taken by every tourist before and during the trip
: On the one hand, a negative test is required upon entry, which is not older than seven days.
On the other hand, another test is carried out directly at the airport.
During a 14-day quarantine in a state-approved hotel, travelers then have to undergo another PCR test on the 7th and 14th day.

Vacation in Zanzibar: travel warning, but no domestic regulations
It also works the other way around: For Zanzibar, a group of islands belonging to Tanzania, a
travel warning
from the Foreign Office
applies
, but there are
no corona restrictions
within the country
.
According to the
travel
reporter's
report
, President John Pombe Joseph Mafufuli declared his country to be corona-free - however, the travel warning still exists because apparently hardly any tests are carried out for Covid-19.
So if you want to travel to Zanzibar, you don't have to present a negative corona test.
However, all travelers have to undergo a Covid-19 screening, i.e. a fever measurement, upon arrival.
If there are Covid-19 symptoms, another corona test is carried out.
If this is positive, it goes into a 14-day quarantine.
However, there is no general quarantine requirement.
In addition, there is no mask requirement in public and private areas.
When you return from Zanzibar, the usual quarantine rules in Germany apply: Ten days of self-isolation and a mandatory corona test upon entry are required.
