Greece reopens borders to visitors from June 15 – but many travellers will need to be tested – The National

Greece reopens borders to visitors from June 15 - but many travellers will need to be tested. Rules of entry will vary depending on which airport travellers fly in from, with visitors departing from the UAE subject to self-quarantine even if their test is negative. Greece will allow visitors from more nations to visit the country from Monday, June 15, with rules varying according to the airport of origin.. From Wednesday, July 1, the measure is expanded to all Greek airports.. Greece's Tourism Ministry had originally said on Friday that only visitors from 29 countries, including China but not the UAE, would be allowed to enter the country from Monday, June 15 with further nations to be gradually added to the list from Wednesday, July 1.. The Greek government clarified on Saturday that it will also allow tourists from other countries to enter the country in the bridge phase with different rules depending on the airport of origin as shown in the Easa list.. If travel originates from an airport not in the Easa affected area list then visitors are only subject to random tests upon arrival, the Foreign Ministry said.. Greece will also reopen its land borders with Albania,
