Greece is one of the latest countries to suggest that it will lift Covid-related entry restrictions for travellers who can prove they have been vaccinated. The country has long been a firm favourite for British holiday-makers, with its golden sunshine, crystalline beaches, historic sights and sumptuous cuisine. Treat yourself to a trip to make you feel like a Grecian Goddess once more, with months in lockdown…you deserve it.
