Did anyone travel to Greece in 2020? I have been considering travelling to Greece this year, but I don’t know what it will be like with covid. If anyone has any first hand experience I would really appreciate it.

Hi! I travelled to Greece last summer, it was definitely an adventure. So many rules and regulations have changed since then, so I would make sure to keep updated with what the government is saying. There were definitely a lot less people, but not everyone was following the guidelines. I would suggest being as safe and careful as possible when traveling and staying in touristy areas.
No way! I am waiting until things get better and we can all move on from the pandemic!
Still waiting! Once this happens more people will travel to Greece this Summer.

Yes and it wasn't that bad. We had to get tested when we got off the plane and wait 36 hours to confirm negative. It was a bit annoying to have to wear masks when walking around but my favorite activities, eating, sipping coffee and laying on the beach I was able to do mask free
I hear they are opening up May 15th!

Is Marathon a good day trip from Athens?

I've been planning an itinerary for my upcoming trip to Athens, and I've always been fascinated by the historical significance of Marathon. Considering its role in ancient history and the famous battle that took place there, it seems like a place that might be worth a visit.
However, I'm on the fence about dedicating a whole day trip to Marathon. From what I understand, it isn’t too far from Athens, but I'm trying to weigh up whether the experience is worthy compared to spending that time exploring more within the city itself.
Has anyone made the day trip to Marathon from Athens? Was it an enriching experience, and what are the can't-miss sights? Is the archeological site/museum there engaging enough for a history buff? Also, how about the logistics – is it easy to get to by public transport, or would you suggest renting a car or going with a tour?
I am just trying to decide if it's worth it, or if I should plan to stay overnight. Thanks!
