Greece designated as Level 3 warning for COVID

[mj_toronto8]

I don't want to discourage anyone from visiting Greece, I'm just updating this forum for anyone who wants to be informed. The U.S. Department of state has designated Greece as "Level 3" warning because of how bad covid is in Greece. You can read more here https://travel.state.gov/content/tr...ers for Disease Control,on COVID-19 in Greece.

Thank you, I also noticed most Western European countries are also level 3. I have read that Crete and Rhodes have fewer problems with Covid than the mainland. Can anyone confirm Covid on Crete or Rhodes?

I will check up on this later but this subject about level 3 and amber light from UK is definitely an extremely sensitive issue, meaning they want to promote 'Staycation'..... Meaning the revenue stays in UK and USA!..... There are strict rules and requirements in place on entry into Greece and working very well.... More updates coming next week..

Well, I've been in Greece for over a month now, and everything is just fine. We can eat outdoors, and half the people usually don't have a mask on. Of course all the stores and shops are open. It is no big deal. We've been to 3 resorts already, and no one wore a mask at any of them. Please don't let Covid keep you from traveling here!! I'm told in a few weeks, maybe less, they will be opening indoor dining and allowing weddings, baptisms and all that. We've already seen one here.

Thanks for letting everyone know! Have a great Summer and enjoy Greece!

With due diligence to keep up-dated on the current situation and to follow all Greek government protocols, I am hoping to return to Greece this summer. As a guide, check out the map of epidemic/vaccination rate here: https://covid19.gov.gr/covid-map-en/. You can click on your travel destination to get the current situation.
