Vacationers from other EU countries will be able to travel to Greece and go on vacation from May 14th without the obligation to quarantine.
This was announced by the Greek Deputy Minister for Tourism Sofia Zacharaki.
But there will be prerequisites: "The vacationers must either be vaccinated or show a PCR Corona test," she told the Greek news channel Skai.
Then they will be able to go on vacation in Greece freely, it said.
This regulation will also apply to some other states.
These include Serbia and Great Britain, the vice minister said.
Athens had already abolished the quarantine requirement for visitors from Israel on a bilateral level at the end of March.
Israeli vacationers must show official confirmation in English that they are vaccinated.
In addition, 14 days must have passed after the second vaccination.
Visitors from Israel must also show a negative PCR Corona test, which must not be more than 72 hours old.
Since the beginning of the year, the Greek government has been pushing for an EU-wide vaccination certificate to be developed.
The aim is to save the Greek tourism sector, which normally accounts for almost a fifth of Greek economic output.
"We hope that this EU vaccination certificate will be available by June," the deputy minister said.
