Now because you are staying on an island it may be confusing when it comes to adding STREET, as most tourist resorts do not have street names. Here you would put the resort name… for example Kalamaki, Argassi, Alykes, Lagana, Ambelokipi. City of course would be Zakynthos. The post code would be 29100… This is the general postcode of Zakynthos. Hotel, you would put the name of the hotel you are staying at.
Eg:-
Greece
Zakynthos
29100
SEA HOTEL
Kalamaki

If you are required to take a test on arrival:
- After testing you should practise social distancing and self-monitor for symptoms that could indicate COVID-19. The Greek authorities will contact you if you test positive and advise you on whether you need to self isolate or quarantine. Test results are expected to become available within 24 hours
- if your test result is positive, the Greek authorities are likely to ask you to self-isolate for 14 days. Depending on the nature of your accommodation (e.g. whether you’re staying in a hotel, or in a private property like a house or villa), you may be required to move to government-provided accommodation. If you’re asked to move, the costs of transfer and your new accommodation will be paid by the Greek authorities
If you are not required to take a test on arrival, you will not be required to self-isolate.
You must comply with all instructions given by the Greek authorities. Failure to do so may result in you being refused permission to enter Greece and/or legal enforcement.
You should also be aware that if other passengers on your flight subsequently test positive, you may be subject to further quarantine/self isolation requirements. These will be mandatory and you should comply with the Greek authorities’ requirements.
