The latest easing affects the leisure offer in the country.

Going on vacation in a country where entry is possible without quarantine, but almost nothing is open?

Greece has now changed that.

As

reported by

tagesschau.de

, six months after the closure, bars and taverns were finally able to open again.

Further easing in Greece

However, this only affects the outdoor area for the time being.

The staff must present a negative rapid corona test twice a week and always wear a mask.

A

maximum of six people can

sit

at a table

, while standing guests and music are not allowed.

In addition, there must be a distance of at least 1.80 meters between the tables.

The restaurants must

close at 10:45 p.m. at the latest

.

There is still a curfew between 11 p.m. and 5 a.m.

Current corona situation and entry rules in Greece

The 7-day incidence in Greece is 158.5 (as of April 30), well above the limit of 50 new infections per 100,000 inhabitants, which

ensures that the federal government

classifies it as a risk area

.

Nevertheless, there is a positive trend, as the number of cases is steadily declining, according to the Greek health authority, and vaccinations are picking up speed.

Travelers from the EU are already allowed to enter without quarantine if they

come

to Greece

by air

via the airports of Athens, Chania, Heraklion, Corfu, Kos, Mykonos, Rhodes, Santorini or Thessaloniki

.

However, a negative corona test that is not older than 72 hours is required.

In addition, the “Passenger Location Form” must be filled out, from which a QR code is generated that must be presented upon entry.

A full opening to tourism in Greece is planned for May 15th.

From then on, travel within the regional districts of Greece should be possible again without restrictions.

This means that the travel industry will be restarted before the introduction of the EU vaccination pass, which is planned for the end of June.
