Hello from sunny but windy again today Arillas. My weather stations says 21°C there is two people right now on Arillas beach....All news papers and news chanels are talking about what, how and if tourism will be possible in places like Greece, Corfu , Arillas etc.
The Greek government announced on Friday that it will allow flights from 29 countries to Athens and Thessaloniki starting on 15 June. The UK , Holand, Italy , Spain, Belgium is not in the list.
The Greek government announced on 20 May that the tourist season will start on 15 June when seasonal hotels will open. As from 1 July, direct foreign flights to all tourist destinations will start gradually. In the second phase, the country will open up for visitors from all countries besides those that still show negative epidemiological characteristics.
I'm not going to go through so much of that as you can see it your self
just by googling it .
at the same time I see ryanair , easyjet, and
other flight companies announcing flights from the UK to corfu from the first July... Can someone please explain this to me?
OUr schools are now open with limited number of kids, Oue older son Spiros goes to school by bus. Ican see the bus driver wearing a mask.
I did watch yesterday though, the Greek prime-minister visiting a local school in Athens.
I did not see any social distancing in the background with the citizens or the children. It did look to me as a normal visit as we used to do before the pandemic times.
When I wake up in the morning and walk out of our house I do not think of any virus the only thing that is not normal it the unusual silence of the village as normally at this time of the year the place is full of visitors.
In Arillas beach Kostas on the beach is now open, The beach point is open too and the Akrotiri Cafe up on the hill, Others are getting ready too.
I decided to Close my taverna from today for a few days As now my employees are getting some extra money from the government and there are more places opening on the beach-front as well as the Akrotiri. I hope it will not be a problem. I will take this chance to spend some time on the beach with my family and as soon as the first tourists arrive We will be there.!!
I will have more time to post pictures and news for you here!!!
Take care everyone
