Although the number of tourists who arrived in Greece in 20 19 set a record, compared with the same period in 20 19, the passenger load factor of flights from the above three countries increased significantly in August this year.

The immigration policy has been updated again.

A few days ago, the Civil Aviation Authority of Greece (CAS) issued a new notice, which applies to all international flights to Greece from August 2002/KLOC-0 to August 27.

Compared with before, the constant is:

All passengers arriving in Greece by international flights must fill in the Financial Times on https://travel.gov.gr's website.

As before, all passengers on international flights must still meet one of the following conditions:

In addition, the Greek government decided to tighten domestic epidemic prevention measures in September. The new measures are expected to be announced next week and will be implemented from mid-September.

At present, the Greek government has made it clear that there is no plan to implement a new round of comprehensive blockade in September. Vaccinated citizens don't want to be locked up at home anymore, and the Greek economy can't stand the blockade. The new measures will focus on people who are not vaccinated. For example, indoor restaurants and entertainment venues do not accept unvaccinated citizens.

However, it is not excluded to take special measures for some areas when necessary, such as taking emergency measures for Mykonos Island and other islands this summer. At the same time, the Greek government indicated that it would resume some original epidemic prevention measures. For example, people must wear masks when they are outdoors.

The epidemic prevention policies that have been determined to be implemented in September are as follows
