From Monday 5 July for travel to the islands you will need:
For adults: Vaccination certificate or covid disease certificate. Or negative PCR result in the last 72 hours. Even a negative rapid test result in the last 48 hours. Rapid tests can be done at a public clinic provided by the government. (No self test)
For minors 12 to 17 years old: Any test including the Self-Test. (not for international travellers… please find below the protocol.
Minors up to 12 years old travel freely.
On the return from the islands:-
It is recommended to conduct a self test for all those who are over 12 years old.
Evia, Lefkada and Salamina are excluded from the measure as well as:
– Those who move between different island Regional Units for work purposes on a daily basis. These will be moved by performing a weekly Self Test as already in force, but also
– Those who move between islands that are very close, to Ferries that connect the Mainland with islands nearby and those with a weekly self-diagnosis will move if they are employees as is already the case and with a self-test before moving and for the rest.
***Please note if you are Island hopping then the one negative test is sufficient from the point of entry to the first Island. For example if you are travelling from Athens to Zakynthos, staying a few days in Zakynthos then on to Kephalonia, the negative test you provided for Zakynthos is sufficient to continue to Kephalonia. However, on your return to Athens you will be asked to have a self test.
