If you want to be covid safe, I recommend skipping island hopping this year

Besides the fact that there are so many restrictions, island hopping will be a bit risky because there are so many people that are going to be traveling back and forth on the islands, increasing your risk of getting covid. In my opinion, the best thing to do while traveling in Greece this year is to pick one spot and stay there! You will be able to explore and be in contact with way less people.

Yes...this is so true. Be careful this summer, there are many restrictions and you don't want to get in trouble with the authorities

We will be traveling to Crete for a week and then to Rhodes for a week in September. I have looked at the Greece Gov sight and would like to know where I can find some of the restrictions you mention. We are all fully vaccinated and will take a covid test within the 72 hour period. Is there more information I need? Thanks.

Even without a pandemic, this is how I ideally enjoy Greece the best - by staying in one place. I really love getting to know a region for all of its beauty, and staying in the same place helps me really get to know the people, too. The fact that it is a safety risk moving around all over the place makes staying in one spot even more appealing!

We do go island hopping. We did 3 islands last year and it felt really safe. I hope it will be the same this year. It is all really up to yourself. Keep your distance or wear a mask ( the right way) and keep clean and get vaccinated. If you don't feel safe in a place, just go somewhere else.

That's a good point. I guess you can always take measures to be careful
