I have a flight to Athens (on my way to Karpathos) on July 14th. If it’s true, any advice? Regards Reply N.H.Knappe 28 June 2020 - 20:04 I am daily following the newsletters from the Government, but must say very confusing. Arrivals have to fill up a PLF at least 48 hrs prior to arrival, how do they get the “Unique Quick Response Code” and can you use this QR on your phone or do you have to print a hard copy? Reply GTP editing team 28 June 2020 - 23:50 According to the information provided by the General Secretariat for Civil Protection, after submitting the PLF form, you will receive a personal QR code. You must then present the QR code – either via mobile phone or on hard copy – upon your arrival in Greece.
