Greece has kicked off its tourist season with some 40 international flights expected to arrive in the country this Friday, with the government and travel operators hoping the sun, sand and sea mix will bring in a solid revenue boost after 2020’s troubled season. Tourism represents up to 20% of the country’s GDP. “Greek authorities are aiming to reach a vaccination rate of 50% of the population in June”, as FRANCE 24’s Athens correspondent Nathalie Savaricas reports.
Greek hotels are reopening and international flights will resume on June 15, with passengers from 'high-risk areas' subject to coronavirus testing and quarantine rules.
With a government decision expected on the tennis star's fate, court documents raise questions over information he provided in his visa application.
Roughly a quarter of Greece’s adult population remains unvaccinated.
The visitors were all fully-vaccinated, tested on arrival, and then had to wait for a negative result before going sightseeing.
