Italian, Spanish, Dutch flights to Athens resume

International flights from Italy, Spain and the Netherlands to Athens International Airport will be allowed from June 15 as part of the country’s plan to reopen its borders, Tourism Minister Harry Theoharis said yesterday.

All international flights to Thessaloniki’s airport will also resume from Monday, except those from Italy, Spain, the Netherlands, Britain, Turkey, Albania and North Macedonia. From July 1, all international arrivals will be allowed to travel to all Greek airports and foreign ferries will be permitted to dock at Greek ports.

Passengers arriving at Athens and Thessaloniki airports between Monday and June 30 from airports that are not on a list of countries compiled by the European Union Aviation Safety Agency where the coronavirus infection rate is deemed to be low will be subject to random tests and will be quarantined for a day pending the results. For flights from Italy, Spain and the Netherlands, tests will be conducted on all passengers.
