It is June 9th, 2021 and Greece is an ‘amber’ destination according to the UK government foreign travel traffic light system. This means that it is legal to travel there, but not recommended according to the host country’s pandemic credentials. Many islands have been fully vaccinated and are deemed safe enough but there are still areas of infection mostly on the mainland around Athens and Thessalonika.
We are fortunate to have both been fully vaccinated against Covid 19, enough to be allowed into Greece, so we are hopefully flying out this coming Sunday 13th June.
Our plan this trip is to service and check out the boat, then launch for 5 weeks sailing in and around the Ionian. We hope to be joined by friends and family if conditions permit, but we shall see what the next few weeks hold for us. Life is very unpredictable during this spurious pandemic and we plan to exercise extreme caution and care with the decisions we make and the directions we go in. All being well we shall return home on 30th July, perhaps with a hope of revisiting in September. Our fortunes will unravel!
