Greece wants about 10 million tourists this summer

[David Clapson]

I'm not making it up. The tourism minister

predicts the country could have “less than a third” of the tourists it hosted last year. In 2019 Greece attracted a record 33 million arrivals, more than three times its total population

“We have to have new rules for hotels, new rules for beaches, new rules for pools, new rules for breakfast buffets, new rules for tour buses. I will be pushing for agreement on a common set of [EU] rules. We need them if we are to start moving people from one country to another by road, air or sea."

Perhaps we should poach him and give the job of Minister for Brockwell Park.

We were supposed to be out there for the first two weeks in June for our silver wedding anniversary.
Covid-19 stopped that.
So hoping for September.
But we will get there asap.

We were off to Turkey on the 8th of May.

I'll re-book for the same two weeks next year, in the hope that things are back to 'normal' by then.

It was our sapphire this year.

You'll get there, once this madness subsides.

If I felt sure I'd be allowed through all the relevant borders, wouldn't be confined to a hotel and was insured fully .... And if I had any money, I'd go
