Can I travel to Greece? Greece tour opening hours

In 2021, Greece is preparing to fully reopen the tourism industry on May 15. By then, it will attract people from Italy and surrounding areas to experience the unique summer style here, which is impressive. Here, I will share with you the specific tour guide.

According to the Greek government’s plan, tourism will be officially opened on May 15, local time. Currently, many travel companies are gearing up to prepare for this day.

Although the hotel has not yet officially opened, related bookings have increased significantly in August and September this year. This year, the Greek tourism industry may be able to achieve the expected development goal of 50% of annual passenger flow.

According to the Italian media "IsMessaggero", Italians have begun planning their summer vacation, with Greece, Spain and Croatia being their preferred destinations. Local travel agencies say Greece and Spain attract 70% of Italian tourists.

German "Handelsblatt" also reported that "experiments" on travel were conducted on some Greek islands. The islands are either remote or tourist destinations and all residents have been vaccinated against COVID-19.

Meanwhile, the European Commission recently proposed easing restrictions on non-essential travel (i.e. holiday travel) under certain conditions. The proposal encourages countries with high COVID-19 vaccination rates and those with low infection rates.

However, the United Kingdom, one of Greece’s main tourist source countries, announced its tourism green list this week, and Greece has not been included yet. The outside world is worried that this will have a certain negative impact on Greece's tourism industry.

However, when Greek Tourism Minister Theoharis visited Berlin, he also said that they had more expectations for the German market. German airline TUI announced that its flights to Crete will begin operations on May 14, contributing to the smooth launch of tourism in Greece.
