Since the beginning of the year, the Greek Prime Minister has been campaigning to allow vaccinated people to travel again. Charis Theocharis, Greece's Minister of Tourism, on the other hand, a negative corona test is enough.

"Our country is open to all people who can show a negative Covid-19 test result or even a vaccination certificate when entering the country," the politician clarifies in a radio interview. Even the rumor that the Greek borders could only be crossed with the vaccine in their luggage was fictitious and not true. “No hotel will refuse to give hospitality to a non-vaccinated visitor,” Theocharis continued, thus excluding vaccination as a prerequisite for entry.

In recent weeks, the country has created corridors for travelers with CoV vaccinations in order to exempt them from the applicable travel restrictions. You have to make things easier for travelers who have a vaccination certificate. The Greek Prime Minister even demands an EU-wide vaccination pass, like news.gtp.gr reported. The project was quickly criticized, and Greece fell on deaf ears, especially in the European Union. The targeted preference for vaccinated people is not acceptable, so the voices from Brussels.
