COVID-19 AND TRAVEL TO GREECE
On May 14, 2021, Greek Tourism Minister Harry Theocharis announced the country’s plan to bring tourists back to Greece by May 14, 2021.
"Greece is ready with a complete protocol for summer 2021," Theocharis said. "Tourists will be welcome if before travel they are either vaccinated, or have antibodies, or test negative (for COVID-19). All tourists will be subject to random testing." Moreover, the minister said that coronavirus-related extra costs, such as hospitalisation, will be covered by the Greek state, just like last year.

About Ithaki
Ithaca, or Ithaki as we say it in Greek, is a Greek Island located in the Ionian Sea, off the northeast coast of Kefalonia, and to the west of continental Greece. Ithaca's main island has an area of 96 square kilometres (37 sq mi) and has a population in of approximately 3,230. It is the second-smallest of seven main Ionian islands, and the capital of Ithaca is Vathy.
Modern Ithaca is generally identified with Homer's Ithaca, the home of ODYSSEUS, whose delayed return to the island is the Odyssey's plot. This small, picturesque island, with its terracotta tiled roofs, each of the 11 villages nestled among, in between, or above its large rolling mountains surrounded by the glistening Mediterranean Sea is the island of my ancestors. I grew up spending summers with my Grandmother and cousins, creating the most beautiful childhood memories. Ithaki holds a very deep place in my heart, and being able to share this deep space with my students, through yoga, is truly a dream come true for me. I cannot wait to share it with all of you! |
