  • Upon their departure from Greece, tourists will not be tested in order for them to avoid being quarantined in Greece.

  • All Greek accommodation units will be obliged to have a contract with a doctor, who will determine, either in person or remotely (telemedicine), whether a tourist should be tested for the coronavirus. All Covid-19 tests will be performed within 6 hours at the latest so that anyone who is tested to be positive can be transferred to a “quarantine hotel”
  • Special training will be provided to staff at each hotel regarding special hygiene rules
  • There will be no buffets in hotels
