Greece June 18, 2021

We are set, as of now, to still depart on the June 18th Greece ABD trip. Is anyone else going on these dates?

If this trip occurs, could you report on what steps ABD took due to COVID? I would be very interested in knowing what modifications they made.

I"m surprised by this as Greece seems to be one of the few countries welcoming tourists. I wonder if it was transit issues? Any explanation?

The US State Department upgraded Greece to a Level 4 travel advisory on Tuesday based on the level from the CDC. It's one of the "80%" of world countries that the State Department is doing this for.

"The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has issued a Level 4 Travel Health Notice for Greece due to COVID-19, indicating a very high level of COVID-19 in the country. Visit the Embassy's COVID-19 page for more information on COVID-19 in Greece. "

Ah, that makes sense. I thought its rates were pretty good, but didn't look. Thanks!

I was told it was because disney safety protocols had not been finalized yet for Greece

I am sorry that your trip was canceled. I am scheduled for an AbD trip to Greece this fall, and am still wondering if it will go or not. May I ask if you got any special vaccinations in preparation for your Greece trip, like hepatitis? I am having difficulties trying to figure out if I need any vaccinations (I have had the Covid vaccination).

Definitely check with your doctor, but you shouldn’t need any additional shots for Greece. You can also check the State Department website for information on what shots are recommended when visiting different countries. When I traveled to Greece in 2012, I didn’t get any extra shots.

Just make sure that you have Travel Insurance

To cover the cost of Emergency Travel BACK to U.S.A. In case you have an accident

Yes, I am shopping around for travel insurance now, thanks for the reminder!
