Holidays in Greece 2021
This terrible pandemic linked to Covid19 has literally turned our lives upside down, made us helpless and powerless in the face of anything and above all it has chained us in our homes without having the opportunity to travel and discover wonderful places that our planet is capable of to offer us.
Like everyone else, we hope that a solution will soon be found and that it will still make us free to choose what to do and above all where to spend our holidays. We specialize in holidays in Greece and in this article we want to give you a trace of the lines currently in place to be able to think of reaching it and spend peaceful days among dream beaches, a sea of spectacular colors and enjoy everything that the Greek Islands rather than the mainland is capable of giving us.
Even in Greece as in Italy there are areas most at risk for the Coronavirus that will allow you to choose the destination that best suits your needs. Unfortunately this information is only in the Greek language but you can help yourself with google translator to better understand. The site to visit is the following: https://covid19.gov.gr/covid-map/
As for the Greek regulations, to date there are no restrictions to travel and even less IT IS NOT NECESSARY TO BE VACCINATED as some Italian newspapers have written.
Currently the rules to follow to enter Greece are as follows:
If you are vaccinated (it is better to bring a declaration attesting to the execution)
With a negative swab done 72 hours before physical entry into Greece
With a Covid19 serological antibody test
Filling out the PFLform
But let's get more specific about PFL
It is a necessary document to be able to enter and represents a sort of map that allows the Hellenic Government to trace all the people who decide either for their holidays in Greece 2021 or for other reasons to visit this splendid land.
The PFL (Passenger Locator Form) must indicate the city of departure, your residential address in Italy, the duration of the visit, the address where you will be during your stay, if you have visited other countries before arriving in Greece, the means by which you will arrive in Greece, the flight number and the company rather than the name of the ship, your telephone number and your email. Each person is obliged to fill it in and as far as families are concerned in a parent's form it is possible to insert children as long as they are minors.
It must be completed 24 hours before departure, and then usually within a few hours, you will receive a confirmation email with a QR code which is an identifying and personal code.This document is of fundamental importance to be able to travel to Greece and is useful in case there is a need to contact you or warn you about some important news related to Covid19.
Without the PFL it is not possible to access the vehicle you have decided to take to get to Greece and it is the full responsibility of the carriers that it is by plane rather than by ship to verify the veracity of the document to get you on board. If the airlines or shipping companies do not follow these directives, they will be responsible and at their own expense will be forced to repatriate passengers.
It should also be noted that you could be chosen at random upon your arrival for an additional quick swab despite having all the documents in order, but do not worry it is just another form of prevention that will make you lose half an hour.
Therefore, the Minister of Tourism Haris Theocharis has announced that the doors to Greece will open on May 14, 2021 with the rules described above and this gives us further hope of being able to return to travel between the Greek Islands and the whole Hellenic territory.
At this point dear Greek lovers, what are you waiting for, start dreaming and ask us for quotes for your longed-for and "deserved" holidays in Greece, we are here waiting for you and giving you the best advice.
