2021 tests on the way home ???

[Szapet]

Hello. We really want to fly to Arillas, but we don't know where it is possible to take a test before the way back ... Who knows anything specific? Will I need a test at a hospital in Kerkyra? (for Ryanair) I think this will be the biggest issue of traveling to Corfu this year ... Petr and family

[dimitris]

Hello Petr,
almost all visitors who are currently in Arillas could do their covid tests here. Their rep or travel agency can Arrange a "covid test Van" to arrive in Arillas and do the job each time needed. so that you do not have to travel elsewhere while holidaying here.
I will be posting more specific information shortly! WATCH THIS SPACE!
See you in Arillas!

I'm going to have to get a rep or travel agent I think 😂 .

Jimmy at the Rainbow is organising this for his guests...it will cost 25 euros each.

Hi Sandy!
How are you?
On a serious note if you are independant I presume you could go see Jimmy and jump on board?

Is there any further news regarding testing in Arillas.
We are due to fly out with Ryanair on 27th June so will not have the service of a holiday rep and therefore will have to sort it out for ourselves.

I'm not aware that Jimmy is organising the tests for non guests.  I have had a few emails with Jimmy and he is to let me have the phone number of the company from Rhoda. However sounds like Dimitris will be posting more information on arrangements that are being made.

That would be great Kev. Cant believe we got last year with a fraction of the hassle and now got 2 vaccines and they have made it harder. Should have been going 21sr June but looking very unlikely.  Hoping maybe later on the year now.

The requirement for ALL returning travellers to the UK to have a PCR test abroad, 3 days before they arrive back home seems to be a showstopper. I have found 2 clinics that offer this service, both in Corfu Town. That's an expensive round trip in a taxi, so I'm hoping this issue is being looked at, with a view to providing either group transport to a suitable accredited clinic, or, some mobile testing facility where tests can be taken locally, and then transported to a central facility for analysis. Until some positive news about this mandatory requirement for all UK visitors is forthcoming, people will simply won't travel. This PCR test also applies should Greece get placed on the Green list.....so you could say its rather an important issue, one that will last all summer. Jon B.

The clinic that comes over from Arillas and does PCR testing is the Madtoras Clini  in Roda. Telephone number
003026630063388

If any one speaks to them and finds out more information on how to book a test, cost etc then please do share. 

With thanks to Jimmy at the Rsinbow for this information
