Starting Sunday, May 1st, there will no longer be screening of COVID-19 vaccination certificates or test results to be granted access to indoor and outdoor seating, and venues will return to full capacity.
Immunity certificates or recent negative testing won’t be required at country entry gates either, as Greece is easing pandemic-related travel restrictions in view of the summer tourist season.
However, the wearing of masks indoors, including in shops, museums, hotel lobbies, and public transportation, will remain compulsory at least until the end of May.
Less self-testing will be required from unvaccinated staff, teachers, and higher education students while students will no longer be obligated to do self-tests.
COVID-19 restrictions lifted during Greece’s tourist season
Greece implemented draconian measures for unvaccinated citizens banning them from accessing indoor spaces —culture, entertainment venues, and gyms included— in October 2021.
