Greece to open tourism services on May 15
Greece says its tourism services will open on, may 15 when a ban on travel between different regions of the country may also be lifted. Prime Minister Kyriako Mitsotakis made the announcement in a televised address on Wednesday, adding that restaurants and cafes will be allowed to reopen outdoor areas from May 3.Restrictions, a lot of which have been in place since early November, will stay in place over Orthodox Easter on May 2. "Our goal is to have a safe Easter and a free of charge summer. But one cannot undermine the other," Mr Mitsotakis said.
"That's why we ought to not travel at Easter. Athens and other cities still have many Covid cases. Mass movement carries the chance of spreading the virus everywhere." Foreign holidays aren't currently permitted for Britons and so are illegitimate under covid restrictions.
Beneath the current roadmap out of lockdown, they will be permitted from 17 May - given that infection data and death rates stay at current low levels. Following that, destinations will be graded with a "traffic light system" which range from red to green countries. What country has what status is expected to be announced in early May.
