Greece Update

Greece has weathered the Covid storm better than many countries in Europe. As of mid-September, customers need proof of vaccination or certification of recovery from Covid19 to enter cafes, bars and restaurants. Masks are required in all indoor settings. The measures are expected to remain in place until the end of March 2022. While unvaccinated people can still visit museums and archaeological sites as well as cinemas and sports venues, they will need proof of a recent negative PCR test. For more information, see here.
