Current travel restrictions
Travel restrictions vary from country to country with guidance and restrictions changing regularly. It is worth checking the government website for the latest guidance on restrictions on international travel. Many countries impose additional restrictions if you are unvaccinated so it can be worth booking a jab if you haven’t already in order to be in the best position to travel internationally. Although this could change in the future, many of these restrictions are now lifted, with Greece lifting the requirement to show Covid passes when entering bars and restaurants by the 1st May 2022. The requirement to wear masks in the majority of venues will also be removed by the 1st of June in Greece.
