A number of Covid restrictions will be lifted in Greece ahead of the summer holidays, it has been confirmed.
Greece’s Minister of Health, Thanos Plevris, said that people will no longer be required to show proof of their vaccination enter venues such as restaurants and bars from May 1.
It was also announced that face masks will no longer be mandatory indoors from June 1, the Mirror reports.
The government is also expected to review its Covid entry requirements in May - which could see its vaccine passport scheme removed.
Currently, fully vaccinated travellers from the UK are not required to take a pre-departure Covid test prior to entry into Spain.
Unvaccinated and partially vaccinated passengers need to show evidence of a negative test - either through a PCR (taken 72 hours before arrival) or an antigen test (taken within 48 hours).
People that are not yet considered to be fully vaccinated can also show evidence of recent Covid recovery for entry into Greece.
Travellers heading over to Greece at the moment must show evidence of their vaccination before entering the likes of shops, restaurants, museums and cinemas.
News of the changes comes as many other countries begin lifting Covid restrictions amid the pandemic recovery.
Scotland dropped all Covid entry restrictions last month - with travellers no longer required to fill in a passenger locator form, show proof of their vaccination status or test before travel.
All remaining legal face mask rules will move into guidance in Scotland as the country enters into a ‘different phase’ of the pandemic.
Testing will also begin to wind down in Scotland from next week.
