Greece has introduced new measures for some of its most popular beaches.

In a bid to enhance safety for those visiting its glimmering crystal-clear waters that sparkle in the sunshine, authorities have instated specific rules:

  • Beach umbrellas and sun loungers must be placed at least four metres apart
  • Beach umbrellas and sun loungers must also undergo regular disinfection
  • Staff must wear face masks at all times in public, and undergo COVID-19 testing before working
  • Music is not allowed to be played at a high volume

Beachgoers are not required to wear a face mask while swimming or sunbaking.
