I am a little confused with all of the info floating around on the internet. Does anyone know what's actually going to happen and when Greece will properly reopen?

They are opening slowly and very cautiously, ask your Greek Embassy, they will have the most accurate information directly from Greece..... always follow the instructions and guidelines as set out by the Greek Embassy and consulates..
 
I am pretty sure that Greece is opening on May 14th but there are rules for safe travel that need to be followed. I believe they are requiring travelers to either be vaccinated, or to have had a negative COVID test before traveling.

So the Greek priests that have been dying from COVID because they have not properly socially distanced are not true believers?

Oh Vangeli,
You didn't read my response properly, "YOU MUST TRULY BELIEVE " just because you are a priest doesn't mean you truly believe, and it's not a free ticket to heaven.
Mi Fovase, don't be scared. The true Greek mantra.

I read very well thanks. Anyone (priest/believer/unbeliever) that ignores science, dies. Simple as that really. Whether you believe in the current mythologies and their heaven/hell paradigms is irrelevant. Viruses don't care about your belief or lack thereof and only science is saving us from this pandemic.

And just to add, as a true Greek, I don't look to a primitive foreign middle eastern religion for my guidance. I look to the ancient Greeks for the true Greek guidance. On top of the list for me are Epicurus and King Menander. You cannot be a true Greek and follow foreign religions.

Greek Islands Food Tour?

I am a foodie and I love to cook. Does anyone know of any food tour situations that I can do in the islands, or maybe island hopping?

I am in the midst of planning an exciting adventure to Greece and am particularly interested in experiencing the country through its cuisine. I've heard that island hopping offers not just stunning views but also a taste of local flavors that differ from island to island.

With so many beautiful islands, from the renowned Santorini to the charming Skopelos, I'm looking for recommendations on food tours or culinary experiences that are part of island hopping packages. Any recommendations you may have would be great!

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!

Visiting Delphi worth it?

I am trying to figure out if visiting Delphi is worth it. I want to fit seeing as many historical sites as I can into my itinerary. I've always been fascinated by ancient cultures and their histories, which naturally puts places like Athens and Santorini on my list. Recently, I've been reading up on Delphi and am intrigued by its significant historical and cultural value, not to mention its picturesque landscapes.

Given its status as the center of the world in ancient Greek civilization and the home of the famous oracle, it sounds like a place full of fascinating stories and ruins. However, I'm also aware that Greece is full of remarkable places to visit, each with its unique allure.

When does tourist season end in Greece?

I am planning my next Greek trip.

I want to go in October but the people I am traveling with - we won't be able to to go until mid-October.

I have been to Crete that late in the year and to Athens, but not anywhere else. On our schedule is to visit some of the smaller islands, like Hydra.

Do places like that shut down? My main concern is, will the tourist shops be closed? I love to browse through them and it's part of my enjoyment.
