Greece is one of our top bucket list places as we're big into culture and history. And our kids have both learned some classical Greek history in school over the years so we were keen to give them the opportunity to see it all IRL. Outdoor classroom.
Making plans to do international travel during pandemic times is anxiety inducing. It was our first time to attempt flying since the start of the pandemic. We took as many precautions as we could reasonably make. Masks on the plane. We were all double vaxed (+ booster for the adults). Greece turned out to have more Covid measures than the U.K. & most restaurants requested to see your vax card before letting you sit inside. Outdoors, not so much. Buffet breakfast in hotels require you to put on plastic gloves before handling anything. Overall it felt that the Greeks are quite cautious with Covid.
We had 7 full days (plus an evening when we arrived) in Greece. It was a jam packed itinerary so we got to see A LOT in the time we had but also exhausted.
