Laws, Regulations & Policies

Greek Culture Minister Lina Mendoni recently inspected the archaeological site of the Acropolis in Athens to determine the measures needed for when it reopens on May 18.

Greece has entered the first stage of easing the lockdown it imposed six weeks ago to curb the spread of Covid-19.

Greece intends to support tourism and exports, two of its top sectors that are suffering due to the Covid-19 pandemic.

Greek tourism’s recovery in the aftermath of Covid-19 is dependent on uniform health protocols that will define the terms of hotel and tourism-related business operations, says SETE.

Making travelers to Greece feel safe and secure is of vital importance, Tourism Minister Harry Theoharis said during an interview on BBC Radio.

Greece’s archaeological sites, closed for two months as part of Covid-19 containment measures, are scheduled to reopen to the public on May 18.

Greece will soon announce health regulations for hotels to follow in the aftermath of the Covid-19 crisis, the Greek tourism minister, Harry Theoharis, told Bloomberg.

Greek health authorities are urging the country’s residents to wear a mask at all times, particularly in public spaces, in efforts to keep the spread of Covid-19 in check.

The European Travel Agents’ and Tour Operators’ Association (ECTAA) is asking for concrete actions so that the tourism value chain can continue to operate after Covid-19 restrictions are lifted.

Coordinated EU actions for the restart of air transport, including a unified border decision, are essential for tourism’s recovery, says Greek Alternate Foreign Minister Militiadis Varvitsiotis.
