Foreign tourists trust Greece but few plan to visit before fall

According to a survey by marketing agency Mindhaus in cooperation with the research platform Pollfish, whose results were made public by Kathimerini yesterday, foreign travelers trust Greece but only one in four plan to visit before September. Concerns cited include contracting Covid-19 and the increased inconvenience of traveling. The survey, conducted on 3,000 people from the US, UK, France, Germany and Italy, found that 63.9% see Greece as attractive, or more so, than pre-Covid.

Travel ban lifted: Government publishes two separate lists of countries where restrictions are eased – and they don’t match up

The long-awaited government list of countries where travel restrictions will be lifted has finally been published.

The only hiccup? There are actually two separate lists, and they don’t match up.

Industry figures have criticised a system that seems to offer more confusion for holidaymakers.

“Good news. There appear to be two lists with different countries on each one,” tweeted Which? travel editor Rory Boland.

“One has countries which are exempt from quarantine. The other countries where the FCO will lift its travel warning.

“These should be the same. They aren’t.”

According to the article, Greece is on both lists.
