Really hopeful that Greece will open up to us brits very soon. My only concern would be the potential ‘test’ hanging over our head when we arrive. It’s very unlikely that we would have Corona but it’s the whole process which is a concern… testing/isolation/wait for results. It is just too much hassle for me. I have a Villa booked with free cancellation and at this stage even if the doors are open I am reluctant to come.
I think what would help is if Greece could give us pre warning that we are higher risk and are going to be tested on arrival. They have the smart algorithm based on the form you fill in that determines if you will be tested.
Why not let us fill out a dummy form now to see if we would need to be tested on arrival and tell us. Then we can decide if we want to travel based on the result. Or al test share the algorithm so we can work it out ourselves!
Greece will I am sure make the right decision .
