In contrast to some other European countries, Greece applied tough restrictions to contain the coronavirus in an early stage and managed to keep the numbers down. These measures are amongst the most proactive and strictest in Europe and have been credited internationally for having slowed the spread of the disease and having kept the number of deaths in Greece amongst the lowest in Europe.

Tracking Covid in Greece

From 15 March 2022 onwards, travellers visiting Greece are no longer required to fill out the Passenger Locator Form (PLF).

Additionally, as of Sunday 01.05.2022 and for as long as the epidemiological data allow so, all travellers arriving in Greece, regardless of their country of origin, are no longer required to display a valid certificate of vaccination or recovery from COVID-19, or evidence of a negative test result from SARS-CoV-2 infection (PCR or Rapid Antigen test).

However, a simplified PLF remains in operation, the completion of which is OPTIONAL, for the sole purpose of enabling the traveller / family to issue an EU Certificate of negative or positive COVID-19 test result. Travellers, who decide to fill out the simplified form, will receive the PLF with their unique Quick Response (QR) code via email (the QR code will be provided in a link in the email). The PLF can also be found on the Visit Greece app and at travel.gov.gr. It is strongly recommended that all visitors download the Visit Greece app (GDPR compliant) for free, prior to their arrival in Greece.

If travel is restricted at the time of check in, or maximum 5 days prior to check in, due to government announcements, you can request a cancelation of your reservation via email at reservations@neptune.gr. We will refund the full amount of the deposit you have given us, as long as you can demonstrate evidence of the restriction to travel (e.g. Government announcements).

As per previous question and answer, we will refund the full amount that was charged to you as a deposit. An official certificate of positive PCR test to Covid-19 will be required.

In this case, we will refund the full amount of the deposit you have given us with the condition that you can demonstrate evidence of the cancellation of your flight.

The countries from which entry is allowed, under the aforementioned conditions, without the requirement for subsequent self-isolation are:

EU & Schengen Area countries, USA, UK, Albania, Armenia, Australia, Azerbaijan, Bahrein, Belarus, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Brunei, Canada, China, Israel, Japan, Jordan, Kosovo* (This designation is without prejudice to positions on status, and is in line with UNSCR 1244/1999 and the ICJ Opinion on the Kosovo declaration of independence), Kuwait, Lebanon, Moldova, Montenergro, New Zealand, North Macedonia, Qatar, the Russian Federation*, Rwanda, Saudi Arabia, Serbia, Singapore, South Korea, Thailand, UAE, Ukraine.

*For the Russian Federation, from 30.6 passengers must carry a negative PCR molecular test result from a testing laboratory taken up to 72 hours before arrival, or a negative antigen (rapid) test result taken up to 48 hours before arrival regardless if they are vaccinated or not.

*Non EU citizens are strongly advised to choose direct flights to Greece. In any other case, travelers should abide by the stop-over country requirements.
